But For Real, Latex Does Smell Gross

Via my boyfriend comes this collection of condom PR stunts–the good kind, not the crazy, profoundly evil “condoms don’t work” kind.

In Ethiopia, condoms are made to smell and taste like coffee, while in Australia condoms are distributed through canisters hung in trees. Argentina just goes for straight out scare tactics and India promotes condom use through ring tones (and, although it’s not mentioned in this particular article, awesome videos. Seriously, I have that song ripped and on my iPod. It does not get old.)

It’s a cool article, and very inspiring, so go read the whole thing.
