No ‘Horse’ Jokes, Please: Beware of Geeks Bearing Gifts Cheap Condoms

Posted on | May 22, 2010 | 23 Comments

Because some stereotypes aren’t just stereotypes:

D.C. to begin using more-expensive
Trojan condoms in HIV prevention program

High school students and college-age adults have been complaining to District officials that the free condoms the city has been offering are not of good enough quality and are too small . . .
So D.C. officials have decided to stock up on Trojan condoms, including the company’s super-size Magnum variety . . .

Yes, this clearly validates the stereotype that government giveaway programs foster the entitlement mentality:

No word yet on whether Nancy Pelosi will claim free condoms of “high quality,” at government run schools, is a basic civil right.

What next? WIC vouchers for Starbucks? Don’t low-income mothers have the right to relax with a double-skim decaf mocha latte? What are you, some kind of racist?

    Haven’t you heard? We all have a right to everything.

    What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

    The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

    Poor quality condoms? So is this an admission by the government that they do not always make decisions based on public health, but on cutting costs whenever possible?
    Could this tendency conceivably be continued as they absorb more and more of the health care system?

    And if we can’t make horse jokes, how about a tip?
    Wear your rubbers in the rain!

    The funny thing is (at least, funny for those who don’t have it) that Herpes is spread through casual contact..

    A guy can wear three condoms rolled on top of each other and still catch Herpes through the act of the uncovered parts of the genitals. The slappage, in other words.

    Of course, anyone who points out this fact — that condoms are not 100% effective — is immediately accused of being anti-science, anti-sex and probably a homophobe, to boot.

    That is not me above, but I like the comment (provided it is given in a scarcastic tone against the government).

    When I was in high school I would have wished for more opportunities to even use condoms, but now that my kids (daughters) are approaching that…

    Well let’s just say my views have become far more conservative.
