Pronto!

[jawnbc]

A South African country is promoting a new condom--new in its easly application. It's called Pronto, "the easy way to get it on."

Aside from getting points from me for taking the piss out of Health Minister Garlic* and Jacob "she was HIV but I took a shower afterwards, so no worries" Zuma, they might well be onto something. Click here for the demo video.

Fiendishly clever? I think it just might be.

*South African Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang is notorious for promoting garlic and beetroot over ARV meds for people living with AIDS in South Africa. What an asshole

I was reading about that condom this morning. I was curious as to how one could put it on faster than a speeding bullet. That is absolutely brilliant. It should be handed out like samples of tide in the mail to everyone.

I'm surprised more condoms aren't packaged that way.

I read about that condom some time ago in an industrial design magazine. I hope that the packaging becomes available for other brands cuss the fit and stuff is more important to me than the speed. Althought the speed is nice.

African men seems to have a whole series of interlocking cultural traits that make it very difficult for them to do whats necessary to slow the spread of aids or move forward in treating it. The women Ive seen addressing it seem much more willing.

Yeah, do those come in "extra tight"?

That rocks! Why on earth did it take this long to come up with that?

It is such a brilliant idea - and so simple.

Although my use of condoms is limited (one or two a year, tops), I think this is a great idea. However, I'd be interested to see if the "Plastic insert" is in any way likely to damage the condom. Increased tear risk? Microperforations?

Where was this my entire life?

Lucky me. I can pick up a box of them next week. Hehehe.
