Condoms in Colombia...
Town May Make Carrying Condoms Mandatory
A western Colombian city councilman wants to require everyone in town 14 or older to carry a condom to prevent pregnancy and disease, outraging local priests.
William Pena, a councilman in Tulua, said Wednesday he will present a formal proposal to force all men and women - even those just visiting - to always carry at least one condom. Those caught empty-pocketed could pay a fine of $180 or take a safe sex course, he said.
"Sexual relations are going on constantly," Pena told The Associated Press by telephone. "If you carry a condom, chances are you'll use it during the day. It's not going to be there forever."
Tulua has one of the highest rates of AIDS in Colombia, he said. The proposal will be debated by other town leaders and could go into effect by March, he said.

Hhmm. Interesting.
But you know, it's not THAT bad an idea, really. If it helped just one person, and all that good-will crap...
...but people who are just visiting? Having to pay a fine??
What about married couples?! Why would they have to carry them??
Silly people. But thanks for sharing. Always nice to read some online news that doesn't involve war and death. :)
