Hey! What’s This In My Cracker Jack?!
link Britain sends South Africa 42m condoms in HIV fight before World Cup | World news | The Guardian.
As if. Forty two million condoms sent to South Africa for a soccer tournament? Who are they sending, Warren Beatty clones? The recently held Olympics in Vancouver made big headlines when 100,000 condoms were shipped into the athletes’ village and it occured to people just what the 5 Olympic rings really symbolized Forty two million makes those people out to be nuns by comparison. Doing a quick fact check on the World Bank website, reveals that the entire population of South Africa is 47 million people.
Come to think of it, is that the real reason to hold sporting events worldwide, to spread the genetic pollen of tourists and participants? Why don’t they just hand out condoms with the boarding passes? There’s an entrepreneurial idea. Come to think of it, there have been some mysterious extra ‘charges’ on plane tickets recently. In regard to South Africa, how do they logistically even distribute 42 million condoms? Does the post office do it? Do they drop them on citizens from low flying aircraft? Are they included with breakfast cereal, or attached to Starbucks cups? Then again, think of having to dispose of those things afterwards. SHIVER.
For this amount of product to be shipped for the World Cup event implies a couple of possibilities about South Africa. One is that people there are a little on the promiscuous side, or at least have the reputation of it. Another, is that it’s a nation of hookers. Either way, it must be a very compelling group of people to meet since the incidence of HIV/AIDS there is among , if not the highest in the world. That a flimsy piece of rubber is the only thing standing in the way of possibly acquiring a fatal disease falls squarely in the idiot category. More on this later.
