Imagine having to live in a different country where you didn't get push notifications about what's going on up the king's bum (feddit.uk)

Did I just dream this or did we in the US have a president that had a colonoscopy and they broadcast the video on the nightly news? I swear that happened with Reagan or Bush or possibly Clinton but I can't find anything about it.

I thought your news was supposed to report on all the shit that your president was doing?

Not a president/prime minister or anything important, but I think a celeb had a smear test done on a popular morning show here in the UK. Unless I’m also dreaming.

I guess I dreamed it. It wasn't Katie Couric because I was an adult when that happened. I remember being a kid at home and seeing the video of what looked like a tunnel but it was video of someone's colonoscopy.

What I did find was that Reagan had polyps removed and they basically showed a diagram of a person's digestive tract on the nightly news and Reagan's handlers were embarrassed by that. Maybe one station also showed the video through a random person's butt tunnel to go along with it or something.
