If you needed a great example of government waste during a recession, look no further than New York City, the black hole of liberal spending run amok. Not only do these idiots distribute free condoms on the government dime, they have a website set up promoting it and today churn out a press release touting a new Facebook page where you can be hip and send your friends an e-condom.
No, this isn't a gag.
This Valentine’s Day, become a fan of the NYC Condom – on Facebook. By visiting the new page, New Yorkers send e-condoms to their friends, spread the word about safe sex and link to information on where to find condoms. The Health Department will also host a virtual event on Facebook, where New Yorkers can say they will use a condom and invite their friends to do the same.If people are so damn stupid they're unaware of condoms and what their purpose is, then clearly sex education in the public schools has failed miserably. I doubt anyone will point that out to them, so I will.
The new page is the latest phase in a campaign that started in 2007, when New York City launched the nation’s first branded city condom. Monthly distribution at clinics, clubs, salons and other venues has since doubled, reaching more than 3 million condoms per month. Together, the Health Department and its numerous community partners have distributed some 70 million NYC Condoms since the launch.
Last year industrial designer Yves Behar, founder of the San Francisco-based fuseproject firm, gave the condom a fresh look with a new wrapper and a sleek dispenser, which won an International Design Excellence Award from Business Week and the Industrial Designers Society of America. It also won a 2008 Spark Award.
“By using Facebook, we can help millions of people spread the word about condoms,” said Dr. Monica Sweeney, the Health Department’s assistant commissioner for HIV prevention and control. “Condoms protect against contracting HIV and other STDs when used correctly and consistently. They also prevent unintended pregnancy. We encourage New Yorkers to stay safe on Valentine’s Day – and everyday – by using condoms.”
Also, in case you're completely incompetent, an Obama voter, or likely both, they even give you handy tips on how to use them.
How to use a condom correctly:Sadly, there's no instruction on where to dispose of the condom. We might need a new government program to educate the great unwashed on how to dispose of them.
* Use a new condom for each sex act.
* Put the condom on when the penis is erect, before sexual contact occurs. Unroll it all the way down.
* Leave a half-inch at the tip to collect semen. Squeeze out any extra air.
* If you accidentally put on a condom the wrong way, discard it and use a new one.
* Use a water-based lubricant (e.g., K-Y jelly, Astroglide, Kama Sutra, Liquid Silk).
* After sex, pull out before the penis softens. Hold the base of the condom to make sure its contents do not spill.
* Dispose of the condom.
Oh, and don't worry, ladies, there's also handy instruction on female condoms.
Running low on lube? Well, now you can order some here!
So, next time your hear the King of Nanny-State Land, Michael Bloomberg, whining about a budget crisis, or when David Paterson introduces another 137 taxes disguised as fees, maybe someone can ask them how much money is being wasted giving away condoms and issuing press releases about them.
To think this is probably going on in every city across the nation.
We're getting screwed, but at least they using a condom.
