One of IWHC’s Brazilian partners sent us this picture – apparently they’re selling like hot cakes in France as a means of protesting the Pope’s recent declarations against the effectiveness of condoms.

Who says feminists aren’t funny?

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated! Immobilienkreditrechner

I don't think they're for sale in the United States, sadly, but they're reportedly all over the place in Paris.

Buy two in case of a second coming!

Greg 04.02.09 at 10:32 pm

Do his hands indicate what size the condom is for?

I completely believe this is an effective form of birth control.
One look at Pope B16 and I loose all interest in sex…

you mean her hands?

It is a pity that the Pope never said 'no' to condom.

He said that the condom itself is not enough, monogamy, loving each other is more important.

I can understand, that some very trendy, but mindless overfeminist-overlibertarian brains eats everything hat the lying media puts in fornt of them.

Kat, Most thinking people take anything coming out of the Vatican with a grain of salt these days. Ratzi Boy destroys their credibility every time he opens his stupid pie hole.

Ken 04.03.09 at 3:08 pm

To condemn simple technology designed to prevent pain, suffering and potential death, based on medieval concepts of morality, is just plain wrong and is in opposition to the basic tenants of all religions.

The picture combines the best use of humor, social commentary and new media to make a serious point with wide appeal. Bravo!

Chris H 04.03.09 at 4:19 pm

The thing that I'm curious about — if these are French condoms, why are they printed in English? Either way, I want a dozen or three of these.

audaciaray 04.03.09 at 7:06 pm

That is an excellent question that I have no rational answer to!

wifeofaFeministMan 04.04.09 at 4:01 am

I'd have loved to have these for the various boyfriends I had before my monogamous marriage. Hmm.

sarah 04.04.09 at 10:15 am

i think he means the pope's XD

Tim 04.04.09 at 11:39 pm

Now that was funny!

Jay 04.05.09 at 12:11 am

Probably a marketing choice.

jango 04.05.09 at 10:02 pm

they could be BRITISH, ya know? They speak English too, and are in the EU.

Jrae 04.06.09 at 3:26 am

seriously, how do you get these? there's got to be someone selling them online, right?

Jay 05.01.09 at 3:29 pm

They're French. It says above that they're being sold in France.

France isn't in Britain, they speak French.
