    LOS ANGELES, CA     In a bold move to help raise breast cancer awareness, actor Rainn Wilson has legally changed his name to "Booby McBoobface".

    "I simply could not think of a better way to help defeat breast cancer," said Mr. McBoobface. "Every time I hear the barista yell, 'Booby, your frappuccino is ready!' - I know another life has been saved."

    Although he briefly considered donating to breast cancer research, Mr. McBoobface quickly realized that a B-list actor cutting a check wouldn't make the news. "Breast cancer research can be summed up in one word: boring," said Mr. McBoobface. "A lousy donation won't get anyone tweeting about you! Hopefully, this will teach kids that when you are passionate about something, the best way to show that is to legally change your name."

    While happy with the publicity garnered, Booby McBoobface did admit the change has not been without its problems. "Airport security has really been a nightmare," said Mr. McBoobface. "I also can't get an Uber anymore, as soon as they see who they're picking up, my trip gets canceled. Still, it's a small price to pay for literally saving women's lives."

    At publishing time, Mr. McBoobface was reportedly considering another name change to raise awareness for rectal cancer.
