What planet do these people live on?

This lends itself to so many jokes as well as the fact that few people would seriously pay any attention while:

THE MOJO'S ON!!!!

(Damsel)" Barry! Not unless you wear a condom!"

(Barry) "I just happen to this box of condoms with an endangered species featured on the top".

(Damsel) "Oh, look Barry! It's an endangered Desert Tortoise!

(Barry) "Yeah baby, you look so beautiful holding that box of condoms..."

(Damsel) "Barry, I want to adopt one of those Fort Irwin tortoises... blah blah blah..."

(Barry puts his clothes back on and slams the door on the way out...)

Capitalizing on its reputation for using creative media approaches to raise awareness about endangered species, the Center for Biological Diversity will distribute free condoms with pictures of threatened animals on the boxes.

Volunteers will give away the condoms in Southern California this month and people who want to help can sign up online at http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2167/t/5243/signUp.jsp?key=4774. The Tucson-based center will launch a new Web page on the condoms on Thursday.

"The idea is to highlight the connection between unsustainable human population growth and the devastating impact it has on so many other species," conservation advocate Randy Serraglio said.

A couple years ago, the center debuted free cell phone ringtones featuring the sounds of dozens of endangered birds, whales and other animals. Hundreds of thousands of ringtones have been downloaded since, Serraglio said. Check them out at http://www.rareearthtones.org/ringtones/sendringtone2.html.

Serraglio hopes the condom campaign will be equally popular.

"It's both something free and handy for people and it also carries a very important message. It makes people think about these kinds of things and generates discussion about the impacts of our human footprint on the earth," he said.

You know, this reminded me of a contest we had for a sign trailer slogan back in the early days of SOS. Madame Butterfly came up with one that had a picture of a condom draped California, with a caption that read something to the effect of: Protect yourself from foreign objects...

I don't know Ilbegone. after the pet rock craze, bottled water surprise, nearly 30 years of illegal immigration, and an Obama presidency, this may just end up being another one of those things that proves Americans can be sold the stupidest things

The "weather stones" too.

And think of the contradictory bill of goods this guy is trying to sell:

"The idea is to highlight the connection between unsustainable human population growth and the devastating impact it has on so many other species," conservation advocate Randy Serraglio said.

Is it not blindingly obvious which side of the fence he would be on concerning unsustainable growth due to decades of mass illegal migration?
