Techie condoms can report location where they were used [not satire]

Where are people using condoms in the Northwest? High-tech condoms handed out by Planned Parenthood are allowing people to share that info.

KOMO TV reports condoms with a QR code are being handed out at local colleges and universities.

Users can scan the code to "check in" the location they used the condom. The location then appears on a map along with other locations condoms were used.

Even without the special QR-coded condom, people can check in the location where they used a condom through a form at the website.

Planned Parenthood assures users the exact address isn't stored and the location is mapped somewhere "close by in the neighborhood so your special spot stays secret."

"Sex that safe, should be shared," says the Planned Parenthood Where Did You Wear It website.

This would encourage me to get out more and try new places, if you know what I mean...

A regular ol' roadmap could be layed out on the Internet under the radar screen.... ; )

Good Gawd a-mighty now they are tracking rubbers.

Insanity.

Since when is it anyone’s business where anyone else uses a rubber?

Talk about insanity this is the height of it.

At one time Baltimore had a condom counter for the Baltimore sewer.

A real class outfit, that PP. Why don’t they cut to the chase and open up a brothel in the back?

So...find a used rubber and now one can tell where it was used? Golly, now one can know if used in which one of three holes? Or in the hand? Or?

Seems the PP folks could serve humanity better by picking up roadside litter.

Eww.

Speaking of such things...back in the 80's when I was in the Army and stationed in Germany, it was my section's assignment to do a morning "police call" in the grassy area between the barracks at our kaserne and the outside fence. It was a strip of grass that was about 12 feet wide and ran the length of the building. The barracks itself was built in the early 1900's and was 4 stories high.

Oftentimes on Monday mornings, we'd be out doing our policing of the area before we got to work...and we would find condoms that were, shall say, 'used for their intended purposes' laying on the grass. (We had co-ed barracks.) The lazy so-and-sos would just open up the window and throw them out when they were done.

Suffice it to say....there wasn't a one of us on police call that wanted to pick the damn things up. We found inventive ways to dispose of any we'd find....and NONE of them involved our having to touch them.
