No joke!: HealthPartners HMO's new mascot is a urine vial

Petey P. Cup, a 6-foot-11, walking urine vial, even has a Facebook profile; it reveals that he enjoys watching "Grey's Anatomy," listening to Coldplay and assisting with urinalysis, drug testing and pregnancy tests. HealthPartners is a Minnesota-based HMO. (MinnPost.com)

I like it better than the Geico cavemen.

I thought he would a Clinic fan, myself.

A urine vial ironic? What am I missing?

Make him look like a claims rejection notice, or to resemble Hugh Laurie as House, and I get it.

I'll leave out the obvious asparagus jokes.

All doctor visit require a pee-test, so we have even more reasons to deny your claim!

[twerp]

makes me think of the South Park episode where they were choosing between a giant douche and a turd sandwich for a mascot....very funny episode if you ask me.

I sent Petey my facebook friend request.

Damn you, cherie! You made coffee come out my nose!

[Phranqlin]

You just can't make this stuff up.

Going along with Cherie, how about a 6-foot tall rubber glove to promote prostate exams for men?

[ULTRA]

IS THAT THEIR WAY OF SAYING JUST URINATE ON IT ALL?

CEOs are getting paid 100s of 1000's a year to make decisions to make up mascots like this. crap , why did i have to decide to make an honest living instead of this!
