Vancouver Will Keep Olympians Well Stocked With Condoms

January 8, 2010 at 2:54 PM | by | Comment (1)

Are you packing up your parkas and mini American flags for the Vancouver Winter Olympics yet? The games begin in only a month, and we're already very excited. Still, we expect that Olympics visitors will be getting excited in other ways, and there's a health consortium who'll be on the streets in Vancouver just in case you forgot to pack your condoms.

Calling themselves "SafeGames 2010," the troupe of 200 or so outreach workers will distribute "SafeKits containing condoms, lube, lip balm, hand heaters, glow sticks, DVDs, and other incentives, as well as informational cards and referrals to local service providers and resources." Oh yes—and here's the best part—the SafeGames folks will be dressed in costume, as prophylactic superheroes with names like Captain Condom, Epidemiology Guy, Caped and Always-Protected Crusader, Buprenorphine Babe, Sir Syringe, Arm-Fall-Off Boy and Bi-Furious.

Where to find them, after the jump.

Don't believe us? Watch for the representatives and grab their free SafeKits at "high-traffic pedestrian corners, special events, and areas adjacent to vendor tents, clubs, bars, and hotels." Or, if you live in Vancouver or will have some down time during your visit, you can volunteer to be a Condom Crusader! They've got a Craigslist ad up and everything! Come to think of it, we believe Vancouver needs a new motto for next month especially: "Vancouver—keeping Olympians stocked with rubbers thanks to men dressed as them." Gold medal!

But what about the bible?

Can't think that the 'ol Rat in the Vatican can be too pleased about this now, can he?
