Happy Valentine's Day To John And George

Dear John and George,

I hope you guys have a great Valentine's Day. Please, please keep those values you share (endless war, misappropriated tax cuts, etc etc.) between the two of you and leave the country alone, democracy is suffering too much as a result.

Thanks,
Me

Safe Sex In NYC: Valentine's Day Edition

Ah, it is Valentine's Day yet again. The day of chocolates, flowers, candles and romantic gestures galore. What most people do not talk about is what happens late at night, where the real fun begins. Here in New York City safe sex is important (as it is everywhere) and there are people out there to prove it.

From the Gothamist:

Proving that sleet cannot stop the Health Department volunteers, WCBS 880 has video of the NYC Condom being distributed at a Columbus Circle subway exit. Check out the "NYC Condom" jacket the volunteer is wearing! It's hilarious to see people eagerly stick their hands out because who doesn't want something that's free? We even think someone asked for two.

Here's what the NYC Condom's packaging looks like. And proving you're never too old to learn about safe sex, there's an article in the Times about teaching sex education to seniors; at the start of an information session, none of them knew how to put on a condom but by the end, they were all eager to get their goodie bags full of condoms.

Seriously, who can resist free rubbers? It's going to be a busy night and it should be done smartly. Congrats to the NYC Condom patrol for braving the weather and making everyone's night a little safer.
