Yes. Every state wants to be associated with promiscuity and STDs. Especially the mormons.
As part of its awareness-raising HIVandMe campaign, the state of Utah offers prevention and treatment resources, a clinic finder—and, to the governor’s irritation, provocatively packaged prophylactics that have now been canceled. Per the Salt Lake Tribune, Gov. Gary Herbert has nixed the distribution of a stockpile of 100,000 condoms adorned in colorful wrappers featuring Utah-themed slogans with a twist: Think “Uintah Sex?,” “Explore Utah’s Caves,” “SL,UT” (which KSTU explains stands for “Salt Lake, Utah”), and the like. “It’s really just to destigmatize HIV in Utah and get everybody talking about sexual health,” a health department rep said before the cancellation. “If the condoms are fun, relatable, sex positive, people are more apt to talk about them.”
I guess a guy sticking his manhood into a beehive didn’t work for them.
Too bad. I would have loved to get ahold of them. They’ll be collectors’ items.
I don’t see a problem here, they already have two condoms in the Senate.
I recall one particular summer CA boy spent the summer in jerkwater town Utah, USA, with Grandparents.
The Mormon’s holy overreach to the point where things like “God” and “Damn” were bleeped in songs like “Daniel” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”.
Not so holy anymore, I guess.
And all I got is a gold 1983 Illinois commemorative quarter.
I couldn’t use one with such a short name marked {Utah} on them.
I use the “Fort Ticonderoga’s
“A diagnosis doesn’t define you.”
It should.
What recent college graduate thought this was a good idea? A better method to discourage unwanted pregnancies would be to put The hilLIARry’s or Nanzi’s nude picture on them!
Not ridiculous…Adolescent.
To Extirpates: Correction – one condom and one scumbag. Saw a much better ad program on Top Buzz: Condoms $3.50 Pampers $22.50!
Utah’s are free, that is a real cost saver.
So the governor and others are offended that packaging on condoms contains sexual innuendo. Good grief, what did they think the condoms were going to be used for? The idea was to raise awareness, and they certainly did that.
