Excerpt:

Imagine there's no oral cancer. It isn't hard to do. You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. Those rewritten John Lennon lyrics may be Tony Gedge's new motto. Gedge has made it his life's work to reduce the rates of oral cancer in his native Britain. And now, Gedge has enlisted the former Beatle to help inspire Brits to walk into the dentist and receive a simple, 10-minute-long test for oral cancer. Specifically, Gedge has turned to one of John Lennon's molars. Encased in a smart silver pendant, Lennon's tooth is going on tour. Walk into your dentist's office, try on the necklace with the tooth, and get a free cancer screening. "The biggest group at risk for oral cancer are males, 55-59," Gedge told ABC News. "They were around when the Beatles were doing their thing.

So to appeal to the 55-plus boomer market, to get them into the practice with something they know – the Beatles – was far easier than getting them in by spouting a bunch of statistics."

It was a total trip down memory lane for them. Through the curiosity we're hoping to raise awareness of mouth cancer."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
