Slashdot Mirror
Endangered Species Condoms
The Center for Biological Diversity wants to help put a polar bear in your pants with their endangered species condom campaign. They hope that giving away 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms across the country will highlight how unsustainable human population growth is driving species to extinction, and instill the sexual prowess of the coquí guajón rock frog, nature's most passionate lover, in the condom users. From the article: "To help people understand the impact of overpopulation on other species, and to give them a chance to take action in their own lives, the Center is distributing free packets of Endangered Species Condoms depicting six separate species: the polar bear, snail darter, spotted owl, American burying beetle, jaguar, and coquí guajón rock frog."
That's why they're announcing it on slashdot - the one place they can test trial on an endangered species without causing any real reduction in reproductive options.

The "women" in PETA do.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Man, sometimes I can't even tell the male beetles from the female ones.
That's easy. Half the male beetles are living in a basement reading /., while the other half hand over their credit cards to the female beetles. All the female beetles are trying on shoes.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.

And here comes the marketing slogan, "gotta wear them all!" With just over 10,000 endangered species, I can't imagine how that could go wrong...
