Olympics are Ripe With Condoms… Really

August 15, 2008 · Filed Under Blog, Sports

I wouldn’t have guessed that this was the case, but apparently they supplied, AND RAN OUT OF, condoms during the previous Olympic games in Sydney. How many did they supply, you ask? Try 70,000.

“There are many young, strong, single people in the athletes’ village and, like everywhere, some will fall in love or other things, so we need to make condoms available,” Ole Hansen, spokesman for UNAIDS China, told Reuters. “A lot of these young people are not married or in relationships so we want to make sure they have the information and tools to protect themselves if they have sexual encounters.”

OK, I have a question.

If an American swimmer and a Korean badminton player procreate in the Olympic village and their offspring turns out to be a super-kid athlete, does the kid play both sports down the road, and more importantly, which country does (s)he represent? Can the kid swim for the U.S. and Badmint* for Korea?

(* I think I just created a new verb.)

it would take an awful lot of shuttlecocking and relays to procreate on such a tight schedule.

if the baby was conceived in China, it is property of Mao. MAO! MAO! MAO!

Duh - the kid will play water polo. Best of both worlds.

Either that, or he’ll play the clarinet just to spite both of his parents.
