"It Barely Qualifies As News"

Sex looks like it has become the unofficial sport of the Beijing 2008 Olympics after 100,000 condoms were handed out to athletes.
The condoms are being given away in the Olympic Village along with sex education leaflets and videos in a host of different languages.
There are 10,500 athletes so they could have nine condoms each - if having sex with other competitors this would mean they are able to have it away 18 times during the competition - lets hope they still get time to compete.
Provided by the China Reproductive Health Industry Association, this is the first time the olympic condoms have been made in China and quality checks have been carried out to certify the condoms meet international standards.
Free condoms have been offered to athletes in the games since Barcelona in 1992. UNAIDS hope making the condoms available helps bring across messages about HIV prevention.
"Olympic athletes are helping break down barriers of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV," said Dr. Peter Piot, UNAIDS Executive Director. 
"They are also well placed to carry the messages across countries and cultures to inspire people to adopt behaviours that protect them against HIV," he added.

If had some spare change to put into a trademark, I'd go out and buy up OLYMPIC CONDOMS right now !!! I am telling you, withing a year with some fancy "300" type advertisements.....you would have the best selling Condom brand in the world.

I remember that they did this in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City and not only did the Catholic church protest, but so did the LDS one.

A question for those in the know about Catholicism and the churches anti condom stance. If....( I apologize in advance for posing this uneasy question).....You were to keep your spent condom and freeze it, thus suspending animation and saving prospective life, would it then be within church guidelines to use condoms ?
