Fifty years later we're still selling the myth of safe sex?

cir·cu·la·tion
/ˌsɜrkyəˈleɪʃən/
-noun
1. an act or instance of circulating, moving in a circle or circuit, or flowing.
2. the continuous movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels, which is maintained chiefly by the action of the heart, and by which nutrients, oxygen, and internal secretions are carried to and wastes are carried from the body tissues.
3. any similar circuit, passage, or flow, as of the sap in plants or air currents in a room.
4. the transmission or passage of anything from place to place or person to person: the circulation of a rumor; the circulation of money.

FTFA: The South African government says there are more than 71m condoms currently in circulation,

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

This doesn't surprise me one bit. The people who run soccer are morons.

Only a sport that uses a shoot-out to determine the outcome of a game would be this stupid.

Seriously. Can't they figure this shiat out yet? It would be like deciding the NBA championship with free throws at the end of a game.

Stop being such slaves to tradition and change it. Start pulling players off the field. Shorten the field. Pull out the goalies. Give us something!

Yeah, water down your game and cheapen it with a bunch of non-traditional gimmicks so that maybe the Americans will like it better. Because its worked so well for hockey.

Actually, I think it was a Wiley Coyote decision. Who in their right mind, visiting South Africa would have sex with any of the residents without condoms? Anyone that would deserves the "attempting a Darwin" award.

Well, I call it Darwin at work. If you're f*cktarded enough to get laid by some random broad or dude in a foreign country without wrapping it, you deserve the AIDS.

/Still f*cktarded to do the same with a condom but at least you're trying then.

spawn73: 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.


...then, whose fault is it?

You put condoms at the exit of the doors at bars. It's much cheaper than HIV.

Christ, condoms only cost a few cents to manufacture.

My mouse was speeding to click your profile when I read "slut in college" but then I saw "dude" in the next line.

Dude and slut are redundant. You almost gave me carpal tunnel diverting the mouse.

IF you are stupid enough to have sex with anyone from Africa you should die from aids.

FTA Fifa's sponsor-only restrictions on venues will prevent fans gaining access to condoms, warn campaigners

and

"The World Cup is an opportunity to combine sport with messages about HIV prevention and healthy living that can be heard by millions of people," the groups' statement concluded. "It would be a tragedy to miss it."

They basically want free publicity from a multi-million dollar sporting industry. It would be like a special interest group whining in the US about not being given a free commercial slot during the Super Bowl.

Pay up or shut up.

Fta: Fifa's tight restrictions on venues, where only official sponsors are allowed, will prevent fans gaining access to the condoms

The problem is that FIFA has a sponsorship deal with Trojans. These guys are sponsored by Durex. And to make it worse, I think some of the athletes are sponsored by Ramses. It's a Nike-Reebok type thing. Maybe they can just do what Michael Jordan did in Barcelona and cover the trademark with a flag.

Hmmmm. Wrapping a flag around a condom might render things uncomfortable for both partners, but hey, whatever works.

Is someone going to get laid at the event? These people have the highest AIDS rate because they NEVER wear condoms, not because they cant get condoms.
 
2010-06-06 07:20:12 AM
companies pay absurd amounts of money to be key sponsors at the world cup. Its not fair to them to let other vendors in the mix to distribute product for free - even if it has some humanitarian benefit.

The latest issue of business week just said that SA is getting $13bn in monetary benefit from the world cup. use that to buy condoms.
 
2010-06-06 10:24:32 AM
In FIFA's defense, condoms don't really help if both parties already have AIDS.

dave2198: taurusowner: Well, encouraging any sort of sex in the nation with the highest numbers of HIV carriers is just stupid as well. Condoms break.

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.


I read the headline just fine. Did you?

It's called safer sex now for a reason.

/safer than what?
//safe sex failed?

taurusowner: I read the headline just fine. Did you?

As he noted, you read it fine but failed to comprehend it. Condoms encourage people to have sex like seat belts encourage people to drive.

No, when someone accidently says something that is correct about RSA he'll come back and award that person a gold star.

deevo: Do the British not capitalize the acronyms AIDS and FIFA? Why the fark not?

There are some acronyms that even Americans don't capitalize (radar, sonar, scuba, laser). I guess that with the passage of time, the acronym becomes a word in its own right.

\Fifa seems pretty strange to me too.
