A Swedish aid organization will roll out a new line of defense to the country's emergency services next week -- the condom ambulance. 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 |
