Apparently the word freedom has been applied to yet another item, this time condoms. Some kind of German businessman wants to trademark freedom tower condoms - with the official slogan being “Freedom Tower: Make Love Not War.”
The folks behind the actual freedom tower aren’t pleased and find the condom idea offensive. They are against anyone capitalizing on the events of 9/11 but think that condoms go too far.
What do you think?
I personally think that there are worse things and before we stop this condom dude, we should perhaps stop the entire Republican Party from capitalizing on the events of 9/11. At least condoms serve a useful purpose. And anytime condoms are in the news it’s a good thing - as the kids these days need to be reminded they exist.
On that note, takepart to learn more about safe sex.
