Going for the Gold

Q: What do you get when you place 10,500 young, pique-performance athletes in an Olympic Village? 

A:
The distribution of 100,000+ condoms.

As the 2008 summer games wrap up, apparently so will the athletes. According to a report on Canada.com, UNAIDS (Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS) worked with Chinese and international Olympic officials to distribute 100,000 condoms and educational leaflets in the Olympic Village — up from the 70,000 distributed in Sydney.

Other reports indicate that Beijing's health bureau brought in an additional 400,000 condoms to be placed in the 119 hotels contracted by the Olympic Games.

I guess I better start saving up for a trip to Vancouver in 2010! Perhaps they should make sex an Olympic sport? Just think of the possibilities...

I would think the Winter Olympics would be even "busier" what with all the nasty weather and cozy fires.

The Democratic Convention in Denver was another slice of Condom-nation as well, at least for the first 24 hours or so.
