Condom billboards on I-95 promote safe sex
The Sun-Sentinel ^ | May 29, 2014 | Scott Travis

When it comes to safe sex, one AIDS organization believes that size matters.

In what might be considered a sign of the times, a hard-to-miss, extra-large condom is visible to anyone traveling south on Interstate 95 in Fort Lauderdale between Oakland Park and Sunrise boulevards. The billboard, sponsored by the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation, went up May 17. The advertising campaign is expected to wrap up in mid-July.

At the bottom of the prophylactic image is a web address, useacondom.com, which directs people to the foundation's website, where information about free condoms and HIV testing are available.

The group says a giant message is needed to address a giant problem in Broward County: sexually transmitted diseases. The area has some of the highest rates of HIV and syphilis in the United States, especially among gay men.

Maybe outlaw faggery instead. That’s where the problem lies.

When we didn’t want to see this filth on TV, we were told to change the channel. Now I guess we’ll have to change the highway.

NYS 1962 - I had to have a blood test before we could get married...for syphilis I believe. I don't believe my hubby had to have one.

Time for mandatory testing of males any time they step in a doctor's office, clinic, emergency center.

IIRC everyone had to take and have a negative Wasserman before marriage.

I love having fun with this.

Being in aviation, I am frequently asked, “are airlines really safe”? My answer goes like this:

According to Planned Parenthood, condoms are 90% effective against preventing pregnancy. If getting on an airline carried the same level of safety, we/d have 700 plane crashes...

a day.

Think about that the next time someone encourages ‘safe sex.’

useacondom.com?

I wonder how many will be misdirected to usedcondom.com?

N.B.: that latter website is available for sale.
