NYC Holds Condom Design Contest

(AP)  Health officials want more people to wear condoms. New York City's next official condom could be wearing a new design — by you.

The city health department is inviting the public to submit their suggestions for a special limited-edition design. The winning art will be featured on several hundred thousand official condom wrappers.

In recent years the city began jazzing up the wrapper on its free condoms. Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration now gives away more than 40 million condoms a year, up from 3 million in 2002.

The health commissioner says officials want to "keep people excited" about condoms.

Entries are due by Jan. 22.

Are Federal funds being used in this sick endeavor? Is the Mayor that this is going on in his city? Does he care?

Protected sex?!? Give me a break! How about this research relased from the number one abortion provider in our nation:

?Neither contraceptives nor the people using them are perfect, and over half (more than 50%) of unintended pregnancies occur to women who are using contraceptives during the month they become pregnant.?
Planned Parenthood Fact Sheet

Geez, business must be booming!!!
And condoms were NEVER designed to protect against STD's!!! That's why HPV is passing up AIDS for the spot of #1 STD killer! Don't even bother putting the little see-thru piece of plastic on!
Sorry folks but like it or not, there's only ONE way to have "protected" sex and it's called "ABSTINENCE UNTIL MARRIAGE" (faithful, committed, lifetime!)

How about a picture of a baby with a red circle and line across it?
Or maybe a picture of someone in the last stages of dying from AIDs with a red circle and line through it?
Someone needs to get the point across to fools that unprotected sex can destroy your life one way or another.
