Aren't the citizens of New York city thankful that on a day when we need more snowplows on the road than cops - that the best that the denseheaded mayor can come up with is to pass out condoms? Here's two minutes that one MuscleHead captured on tape at their subway stop this morning:
About half-way through the two minutes - one elderly African American man can't quite seem to figure out what he's just been handed - and when he does, give it back to the girl in the yellow and red jacket. (Along with a piece of his mind.)
The AP reported it like this:
Volunteers were to hand them out free at Fifth Avenue and 50th Street. The city's health department program already distributes 1.5 million free condoms each month, but officials hope a new city-themed wrapper will help them track their disease-prevention efforts better.
The new design is said to revolve around a subway theme, with different colors for the various train lines.
Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden recently told The Associated Press that the distinctive wrapper will provide the opportunity to include questions about the condom on the city's annual health survey.
"We ask, 'Did you use a condom the last time you had sex?' And once this is launched, the next time we ask that question, of those people who say yes, we'll say, 'What did the wrapper look like?"' Frieden said. "And if they describe our wrapper, then we'll know that they would have used our condom."
Looky there, looky at the little guy, what a good little condom user you are... yes you are!
I mean GOD forbid we actually adopt a mentality that said, "you know - casual sex isn't good for you." GOD forbid we actually tell people, "it would be much better for your life if you excercised discretion, and waited till you were married and in a monogamous committed setting before joining loins."
What should anger every New York City tax-payer is the idea of why for the love of all that's holy is this program being funded by our taxes?
