I hear we just tested the MOAC - The Mother of All Condoms and will use it if we have to.

The article says: condoms cost about two Zimbabwe dollars each, or a twentieth of a US cent.

Now, that's one shiatty exchange rate.

/my $20 Zimbabwe dollars worth
 
2004-03-04 08:48:24 PM
quickest farking evar
 
2004-03-04 08:49:49 PM
Somewhat ironic that the article believes the President who attempts to prevent condoms from being used around the world is trying to overthrow Mugabe with them.
 
2004-03-04 08:50:04 PM
Haha. Zimbabwe has no bandwidth.

So I'm evisioning this global network, where when a spammers true address is identified, a quick link is flashed on fark. By clicking on this link, we could basically DOS either the spammer, or the zombie computer the spammer is relaying through. Either that or it could have some military applications as well...

/hate spammers, and shiatty hosting

"Revolutionary condoms" are a lot like "Extraordinary cake." I'm sorry, but that's how it is.

In case it gets farked again:

"Get up, stand up!"

Harare - The United States was trying to remove Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe from power with millions of condoms as weapons, state radio in that country said. It said President George Bush's regime was behind the "rebranding" of prophylactics that carry a bright red and yellow sticker advertising "revolutionary condoms" and a message urging Zimbabweans to "get up, stand up!" A bulletin said condoms carrying a sticker with "an oppositional political message" were being distributed throughout Zimbabwe "in what appears to be collusion between opposition groups and a United States-based condom manufacturer". The radio said the appearance of the redecorated condom packets was "not surprising, since the United States government has made it clear it is working toward changing of the regime in Zimbabwe". It says the sticker also bears the name of an underground group of activists with the name and motto, "Enough!", and an appeal to Zimbabweans to stop tolerating abuse by Mugabe's government. The motto appears in graffiti, and is also the name of a news sheet secretly distributed.

The words on the condom are from a composition by reggae legend Bob Marley who sang, "Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights, get up, stand up, don't give up the fight". He performed the song in front of Mugabe and thousands of ecstatic Zimbabweans at the country's independence celebrations in 1980. Recipients of the news sheet two weeks ago found the "revolutionary condom" inside. No comment could be obtained from the United States embassy, but an activist who asked not to be named said: "the Americans had nothing to do with it". He said "a few hundred" condoms had been bought, and locally printed stickers had been glued on before handing them out.

The bulletin linked the "revolutionary" condoms to Population Services International, a Washington-based non-profit organisation working for child and maternal health HIV prevention. PSI provides condoms for aid programmes in Zimbabwe, but by far the biggest provider is the United States Agency for International Development with a budget this year of US 8.5 million that will provide 89 million American-manufactured condoms to Zimbabwean couples. Condoms are estimated to be the cheapest commodity in Zimbabwe, selling for about two Zimbabwe dollars each, or a twentieth of a US cent. About 49 million of the USAid condoms are issued to the private sector for sale, and the rest go to health institutions for free distribution. Health officials say as a result of the USAid programme, condom use in Zimbabwe has risen to about 100 million a year, and proved to be a major factor in restricting the spread of HIV.

"If the Americans had wanted to achieve regime change in Zimbabwe, they could have used something more forceful than condoms," said a Western diplomat. "They must have saved the lives of thousands of Zimbabweans. "It's a weird mind that sees the condom programme as a way of overthrowing Mugabe." Enough!, known in Shona as Zvakwana! and Sokwanele! in Ndebele, was formed around 2002, to galvanise opposition against Mugabe around the time he won presidential elections that were dismissed by independent international groups as the result of fraud and violent intimidation. When Mugabe celebrated his 80th birthday last month, Enough! circulated stamped postcards, with Mugabe's address and carrying a photograph of two frightened, sickly children. "There is no reason to celebrate your 80th birthday," it said on the back of the card. "HIV/Aids, poverty and hunger are robbing our children and our country of a future. Why don't you care?"

Is that cartoon character's thumb supposed to look like a penis or do I just have a dirty mind?
 
2004-03-04 08:56:44 PM
Unfortunatly, I have not had a need for a condom in awhile. BTW, isn't this the type of country where if you're caught with revolutionary material, you are dragged off and killed?
 
2004-03-04 08:57:13 PM

It doesn't look like my penis. What are you eating?
 
2004-03-04 08:59:02 PM
Doonyman I see what you're saying, it looks like the "head" of a dong.
 
2004-03-04 08:59:33 PM
I call Joe Camel phallus shenanigans on that picture.
 
2004-03-04 09:12:46 PM
That's one pointed head goin' on right there. "Soft spot never did heal up right. He ain't been right since. Wears rubbers on his thumb. He's real happy, though."
 
2004-03-04 09:23:03 PM
My condoms fall off...
 
2004-03-04 09:25:09 PM
Either that or his thumb is a stick-shift.

Posted this yesterday with a less funny headline.

How many of these condoms have been breathed in?
 
2004-03-04 09:42:49 PM
Condoms? Via the Bush administration?
 
2004-03-04 09:45:14 PM
who would think of something this outrages? makes you wonder just what they've been smoking.look at the way they spell too.
 
2004-03-04 09:47:12 PM
sorry, outrageous.
 
2004-03-04 09:51:18 PM
NO JIZZ FOR OIL!!!!!!

Only a moron would think Bush was behind condom distribution in Africa.
 
2004-03-04 10:38:13 PM
What number am I? We should put Bush's mug on the tip of condoms so he can catch some wad.
 
2004-03-04 11:11:00 PM
Bush is pushing condoms in Zimbabwe to promote regime change. He's pushing diaphragms in France to promote regime change. He's pushing the pill in Somalia to promote regime change. Bush is also pushing rosary beads in Botswana to promote regime change.

He's the farking devil incarnate. Get this prick out of office now!


I tell ya, it seems like every two bit dictator in the world thinks Bush is just sitting over his shoulder just waiting to pounce. Or, something going on in their country is a master plan of Bush to get them out of power. I call that a damn good thing.

On a side note, I can't believe these freaks actually think they're important enough to even be worthy of the US actually giving them a moment's consideration. Zimbabwe? WTF? Like we give a rat's ass about what happens in Zimbabwe. It's no wonder some of these countries are so farked up beyond all recognition.
 
2004-03-04 11:13:33 PM
I tell ya though, it is pretty funny for Bush.
 
2004-03-04 11:16:22 PM

Mugatu?

 
2004-03-04 11:17:35 PM

Oh, Mugabe.

"No comment could be obtained from the United States embassy,"

Should read:

"Comment from the United States embassy was "HAHAHAHAHA"
