Need a condom? Naturally, there's an app for that.

As a way to encourage safe sex, New York City health officials have released an official smart phone application that helps randy residents track down the nearest location that gives out the city's free, branded rubbers, according to the Associated Press.

The free app, currently available for iPhone and Android users, shows up in the phones' respective marketplaces when users search for "NYC Condom Finder."

To find protection, couples can manually enter their address or use their phone's GPS; the app automatically pulls up the five nearest locations with the snazzy city condoms, which have wrappers decked out in subway maps and other Gotham themes.

What? no free delivery “hot shot” service for that sudden moment? What kind of progressive city is that?

It’s so inconvenient to have to run out into the streets in search of freebie “snazzy” condoms with subway maps when intimacy is needed.

NYC is broke, a billion dollars in debt, and making apps to find ‘free condoms’ that probably cost taxpayers $5 a piece.

I wonder if the app can help people find discount used condoms.

I guess this is appropriate for a city that's expert at screwing people.

They came up with an app that explains how to find your arse with both hands but they haven’t figured out how to get people to put down their phones to do it.

You know, the city could make good money in certain neighborhoods selling the freshly used ones as shooters...but no, it would be wrong. Not to mention totally disgusting.

They can afford internet access and an iphone on which to use their app to find a condom which they can not afford.

That’s it. I’m going to start immediate development of my app - iColonoscopy.

And when they realize too late that putting a condom on a banana doesn’t prevent pregnancy they will want a subsidized abortion.

Need a condom?

Anyone else remember when they were hidden behind the pharmacist's counter at the drug store?
