Common sense condom warning

And, uh… it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye?

Man sues after finding condom in his soup

Remember the tampon infused steak from last week?

This week, a dude in California is claiming he found a used condom melted into the cheese of his French Onion soup at an Easter brunch in April. Why can’t it ever be like a bobby pin or a watch gear or something that hasn’t been in or on someone’s cash and prizes? This time, the man was dining with his wife and daughter and thought he’d ingested a hardened piece of cheese (Ew. Ew, ew ew.) and tried to fish it out of his mouth and oh my God it’s a condom on Jesus’ other birthday what the hell is wrong with people?

Suspiciously, though, the dude refused to allow the restaurant to inspect the used condom, saving it for legal-licious purposes later. Preliminary tests revealed female DNA on the condom and female employees voluntarily submitted to testing to exclude themselves from suspicion of adulterating the soup. In a statement, the restaurant dismissed the claims as baseless and basically called bullshit on the whole incident:

We have found no evidence to support any of the allegations in a complaint filed by Mr. Zednek Philip Hodousek against Claim Jumper on July 21, 2009.

When Mr. Hodousek said he found a foreign object in his food on April 12, 2009, he took it with him when he left the restaurant. We take customer complaints very seriously and immediately began an investigation.

We interviewed our employees at the restaurant and found no evidence of wrongdoing. Due to the seriousness of Mr. Hodousek’s allegation, we then retained an independent investigator. The investigator completed his investigation on April 23, 2009. The investigator also concluded that there was no wrongdoing by any employee.

In an effort to complete our investigation, we contacted Mr. Hodousek and his attorney numerous times over the next six weeks to request that the object be sent to an independent laboratory for testing.

Seven weeks later, on June 1, 2009, the object was finally forwarded to an independent lab. Because Mr. Hodousek took the object with him on April 12, we could not establish that this was the same object the lab received.

In addition, Mr. Hodousek asked us to conduct DNA testing of female employees at the restaurant to determine if there could be a match to any DNA that might be found on the object.

While we are mindful of our employees’ privacy rights, we asked our female employees to voluntarily comply with Mr. Hodousek’s request and they have done so.

To ensure a thorough assessment, we asked Mr. Hodousek to take a DNA test. Mr. Hodousek failed to appear for his appointment on July 20, 2009. Mr. Hodousek’s attorney filed the lawsuit against us on July 21.

We thoroughly investigated Mr. Hodousek’s claim. We do not believe Mr. Hodousek’s lawsuit has any merit and will fight this allegation.

Would you like that dress ribbed or smooth?

Women’s dresses get made out of all kinds of materials but this version of women’s wear is definitely not your average material … errr … latex. However the idea of going out to dinner or the opera along side a woman wearing a dress made from condoms would definitely make one think twice I think. Not to mention having to survive through the parade of jokes you would have to endure.

It would seem though that there just might be a market for them given the wide range of styles being modeled I’m just not sure would would have the courage to order one let alone be seen with a woman wearing one.

Great moments in science: study to ask why men don’t like to wear condoms

Duncan Riley — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:46:44 +0000

The US Government is funding a study that seeks to find out why men don’t like wearing condoms.

The $423,500 investment by the Government will ponder why “young, heterosexual adult men” have problems using condoms, and will consider “skill-based intervention” to teach grown men how to use a condom properly

“The project aims to understand the relationship between condom application and loss of erections and decreased sensation, including the role of condom skills and performance anxiety, and to find new ways to improve condom use among those who experience such problems” Drs. Erick Janssen and Stephanie Sanders told Fox News.

Not surprisingly Government waste watch groups aren’t very excited by the study.

Now, THAT’S a Lot of Condoms

Here’s an Olympic record for you: The International Olympic Committee is handing out a whopping 100,000 condoms at this month’s games in Beijing.

Organizers have been upping the number of rubbers every year since they started offering them to athletes back in ‘92. Apparently, they severely underestimated the athletes’ abilities in 2000: The original supply of 70,000 ran out in no time and cartons of extras had to be rushed in.

This year, it’s not just your average Trojanman making the rounds, either. All sorts of varieties are floating around, including some condoms with the Olympics mascots printed right on them. Here’s where it gets good. The 2008 Olympics mascots are Beibei the fish, Jingjing the panda, Huanhuan the Olympic flame, Yingying the Tibetan antelope, and — I kid you not — Nini the swallow.

One guess which design is the most popular.
