Amorous Swedes to Get Emergency Condom Deliveries
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - 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.
"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."
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.
A packet of 10 condoms will cost 50 crowns ($6.72), less than they cost on average in the shops.
The incidence of sexually transmitted disease is increasing rapidly in Sweden and not enough young people use condoms, Osvald said.
"We need to change attitudes to condoms," he said. "If we need to get out in to the bedrooms to make things better we will do it."

I think it sounds like a good idea. its a volentary service. they are not looking in windows at night checking to make sure everyone has condoms on. its just a delivery service, like pizza. and cheaper then going to the store. hell i wish we had that here a few years ago....
I think its a great idea!
I'm all for making convenient availability of condoms to people. I just dont think such a thing could exist here from all the extremist twisted organizations that equate condom availability as being a confirmation or encouragement to casual sex.
In the city, bowls usually filled with mints or toothpicks are often times filled with free condoms in bars, nightclubs and stripclubs. It's a double edged sword though since anyone that tries crummy freebies (and likely the ones that are $7 a ten pack from that van lol) could turn them off on condoms forever.
lol i like the idea of condoms being avaliable to every one but i think as a teenager having the condom van around would be mortifying lol just my opinion but i think it would tramuatize me lol
