Amorous Swedes to Get Emergency Condom Deliveries
2004-06-01
A Swedish aid organization will roll out a new line of defense to the country's emergency services next week -- the condom ambulance.
The "Rubber Wagon"
From Friday, June 4, amorous couples can call the telephone number 696969 and a white van featuring a large red condom with wings as a logo will deliver them a packet of 10 prophylactics.
I see a vast potential for teenage crank calls, such as having a urgent delivery made to the church lady down the street.
"We need to increase the usage of condoms," said Carl Osvald, marketing manager for the Swedish Organization for Sex Education, the non-governmental organization behind the initiative. "It is 50 percent about pregnancy and 50 percent about sexually transmitted diseases."
And 100% about your job security
The ambulances will operate in Stockholm and the southern cities of Malmo and Gothenberg. The service, aimed at young people, will run until June 25 and be available between four in the afternoon and nine at night.
Just in time for Happy Hour

#11  Wonder how they measure on-time delivery.


A local pizza delivery uses the phone number 363 6363.....say it real fast.

#10  Hey I've got an idea, how about they get off their fat, randy, socialist asses and get their own condoms. Emergency services? feh.

#9  Seems like they are only dealing with the tip of the problem of promiscuity. A problem like this seems to go a lot deeper than just emergency deliveries of a pack of rubbers.

#8  I dunno, I read an article the other day that said 97% of condom brands have an extremely carcenogenic chemical that gets liberated by "bodily fluids...."

#4  Steve, that would be "sex, nio, sex, nio, sex, nio, oh nio, I can't wait for that ambulance, let's just do it", or "sextio-nio, sextio-nio, sextio-nio, oh nio, don't change your mind, the ambulance will be here any second burning rubber". Will the Ambulance come first?
