“One well-meaning young man stood and said aluminum foil could be used in lieu of a condom.”

What?

How come I think that they dug up some of these responses by asking the students what they had heard works—whether they believe it or not.

The kids may hear the stupid things on television, know it’s not true because it was never presented as truth, but it’s useful to get more funding for sex-ed, so it gets played up.

So, the 20-odd years of mandated sex education in public schools is basically a failure.

I blame the HIV activists and CDC for a lot of this. For years they lied and claimed AIDS is a heterosexual disease, which wasn't true, at least not in the US among the non-IV drug user community. I think a lot of heterosexuals ignored the precautions when they realized they'd been had.

Plus, our country is so ignorant about the difference between infectious disease and viruses. Antibiotics can knock out infections but once you get a virus like HPV, you've got it for life. And it's common.

No wonder the aluminum foil beanie doesn’t work for me. I’ve been putting it on the wrong head.

It actually works well. This guy for instance has never had sex.

Silly. Obviously he means that you have to remove the foil from the box first. ;-)
