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."

Someone didn't think this through....

Won't these species just become extinct if they can't successfully reproduce?

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.

Not likely... you ever try putting a condom on an American burying beetle? I tried for hours, but eventually just gave up and let the little bugger have unprotected sex. Man, sometimes I can't even tell the male beetles from the female ones.

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.

[Anonymous Coward]

No kidding. I don't trust anything at all on here today. It hasn't seemed this bad since the late 90s.

Do not want.

I tried these; couldn't see the picture. Apparently you have to unroll them a lot farther than I do...

Only if you're doing it to smuggle them across international borders. Recreational use is not specifically prohibited.

Re:Fuck that

[Ibiwan]

Sorry, but fuck the polar bear

You DID catch the part where they're condoms, right?

Oh no that would be carefully cleaned off. The smegma costs extra and will mostly be imported to Japan.

Re:Fuck that

[sourcerror]

The problem is, that not everybody would get a polar bear, because there aren't enough of them.

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...

recycle

[Dare nMc]

Don't forget to recycle, and re-use these condoms.

(something comes to mind about how to recycle a condom: "you just have to shake the f*ck out of it")

Re:That's nothing!

[archangel9]

Just tell your boyfriend to back out slowly.

Hint: you have to move the tail out of the way before putting it on. And when you meet people on the street, the bear will inevitably say "Would you believe it started out as just a mole on my butt!", which is really annoying.
