Group hands out free endangered species condoms for Valentine's Day
Source: Green Technology Daily

TUCSON, Arizona - Free condoms, packaged to show the connection between human overpopulation and threats to biodiversity, are the Center for Biological Diversity's Valentine's gift to Americans.

Starting on Valentine's Day, 3,000 volunteers working in all 50 states, will distribute 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms with original artwork and slogans that urge men to use them to help save six species federally listed as threatened or endangered.

Three of the condom packages feature the polar bear with the message, "Wrap with care, save the polar bear;" the jaguar, with the slogan, "Wear a jimmy hat, save the big cat;" and the American burying beetle, with the line, "Cover your tweedle, save the burying beetle."

12. I have teens!
These will just crack them up. My daughter and I have handed out condom packs through Planned Parenthood in the past. Even though both my son and daughter giggled a lot, they gave them to their friends, kept a few for themselves, and have zero problem asking me anything. And I mean ANYTHING.

9. And are these condoms made from recycled material?
Just wonderin'. If not, there's no purpose beyond the message. But this is still some funny stuff.
