Safe Sex and the City

Well, I knew this city was getting safer.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, ladies and gentlemen and trannies, the all-new NYC Condom!

Unveiled last year to much excitement (ba dum bum), the City of New York began distributing free latex love gloves branded with subway line letters. (I guess it was some kind of pun: subway = taking a ride. Get it? Get it??). However, probably realizing that people didn't want their love making skills compared to the MTA, the city has given the condom wrapper a snazzier look (per the above graph, the left-hand image is the old style, the right one the new).

Why did they make the change? Apparently, to keep it "fresh." Fresh condoms, I'm sure, are always appreciated. Especially since they gave out 36 million of these things last year!

A little math: 36 million condoms/8 million people = 4.5 condoms per person.

What the heck do you do with half a condom?

So come ... on people. If you really want to "express your love" for this city, I guess the best thing to do is get one of these things and shtup. After all, the city is actively encouraging you to do so. Your tax dollars hard - ha ha - at work!
