we should just pull out, to be safe.
 
2010-06-05 01:53:25 PM
How did they figure putting the World Cup in Africa was a good idea in the first place?
 
2010-06-05 02:21:47 PM
And I was hoping to score :(

Give out condoms at a stadium and they become litter. Sorry, subby, but there are more appropriate venues to distribute contraceptives.

Aids has been such a slacker lately.
 
2010-06-05 03:32:06 PM
Yeah, it's FIFA's fault and responsibility that people have condoms.

Because they don't have a government in South Africa that could do something like mail the condoms to people.

---

Besides, people who can afford to attend the actual football venues aren't the ones with AIDS.

Sounds like the government is just trying to shift the blame for having a crappy country.

Nope. You were using your hands.

Are they complaining that they can't set up booths inside the stadiums? If so, then set em up in the parking lot. If they're blocking that, then I can see the problem, but I don't wanna see a friggin AIDS booth next to the beer stand at the Superbowl.

/And yeah, pretty much what mitch said.
 
2010-06-05 03:34:06 PM
Sure, but what is FO FUM doing?
 
2010-06-05 03:35:08 PM
Because condoms take up so much room in your luggage.
 
2010-06-05 03:35:44 PM
handing out condoms will just encourage whoredom...
 
2010-06-05 03:37:09 PM
Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, "When am I gonna make it back to Africa?"
 
2010-06-05 03:37:14 PM
71m condoms

Those are some big condoms.
 
2010-06-05 03:37:58 PM
Why would they want a condom when they can just rape a virgin? That cures AIDS down there, you know.

Bad Idea.

Well, encouraging any sort of sex in the nation with the highest numbers of HIV carriers is just stupid as well. Condoms break.

THIS.

Do you want the job of picking up all those tossed aside condoms and/or wrappers? Also, if I know soccer fans they'll figure out a more creative use for them. Like filling them with urine and throwing them at the field for one.

Also I didn't realize it was a Sports Association's job to make sure its fans don't get the hiv.

As long as their are other places (like some sort of store) where anybody who wants one can get one then I don't really understand the problem.

UK Farkers, is it normal or acceptable in written British English to render pronounced acronyms as if they were proper nouns? TFA does this with "Fifa" and "Aids", but I notice "HIV" is not affected.

try RTFA before posting then you might not look so stupid uninformed.

It works for the Fldsmdfr!

There is always room for condoms in sporting events.

After all it works for the Olympics...

... except in solo events. That's just silly.

Condoms totally encourage sex. When I have a condom, I want to f*ck everything in sight.

I'd suggest you take your issues to the guy who submitted the headline.

Its South Africa. They have cities there and everything.

I'm not sure how many giant football stadiums there are out in the wilderness.

Encouraged or not, it is going to happen... Kind of like making fun of you in High School.
 
2010-06-05 04:00:45 PM
Um, are we forgetting that Aids is self-correcting? Not like it's airborne, guys.
 
2010-06-05 04:03:04 PM
They did a survey and found out that 97% of all sex in South Africa is rapesex anyway.
 
2010-06-05 04:05:45 PM
Because theres no money to be made in selling condoms. Besides, they're only brown people.



/not serious. fark FIFA
 
2010-06-05 04:06:57 PM
And by 'selling', I mean 'giving away'.


FTFM
 
2010-06-05 04:07:55 PM
No comment from FIFA?

Reading comprehension fail. They're not encouraging people to have sex. They're encouragng people who are going to already have sex to have safe sex.
 
2010-06-05 04:08:36 PM
For those of us that hate soccer....GREAT NEWS!
 
2010-06-05 04:12:07 PM
I'm confused. Is sex a half-time event at the world cup?

I did RTFA article. I mean't to write "that people doesn't have condoms".

And no, I have the impression you're the one who are uninformed.

South Africa is not more farked up than the government could supply condoms by other means, and no, the people who can afford a ticket to a world cup venue are not the ones spreading HIV.

---

Oh btw., when you call someone uninformed, you might want to elaborate on what exactly they've got wrong. I'd love to hear why RSA is not a shiathole created by a shiatty government (both pre and post aparthaid).

Wow, the ignorance is strong in this thread. In fact it's so strong, that I can't even be bothered to comment. Just... stop typing, most of you.
 
2010-06-05 04:19:50 PM
South Africa - come for the rape, stay for the AIDS.

Yes, they should be handing them out in daycare centres and Catholic schools.

Natural selection will eventually thin the herds.
 
2010-06-05 04:48:25 PM
Of course they can't hand them out at a soccer match! I mean, isn't slipping one past the goalie the whole point?

That's not an issue of having a condom so much as having a dick.
 
2010-06-05 05:44:53 PM
So...FIFA wants that part of South Africa to wipe itself out? I don't understand the logic in this decision.
