Evil Prophylaxis


"Such tragedy could have been easily avoided"

"Wptt Contraceptive (a brand name) hopes to create a new packaging of novelty and visual impact. The objective is to emphasize the high contraceptive effectiveness of the products by indicating the painful consequences of having sex without a condom. More than 100,000 people have used the condoms and the sales increased by 21%."


Wickedly funny and oddly disturbing. Humor me, but I'd like to think not all procreation results in genocide and communist enthusiasts. Why is Bush up there? I may not agree with all his policies but I hardly think he's Hitler material. Why not put Josef Stalin or Idi Amin Dada or Pol Pot in there? Man, the foil packaging would truly kill the mood. 


Because there is nothing sexier than seeing Saddam Hussein's face on your lover's condom packet just before he slips it in.

Bony Prominence






The year was 1480 and the fateful day July 28 when a fleet of 70 to 200 Ottoman ships reached the city of Otranto, then part of the Kingdom of Naples. It was the beginning of the Ottoman wars (1453-1683) in Europe and invader Mohammed II had conquered Constantinople just 28 years earlier. The garrison and the citizens took cover in the Castle of Otranto but as it had no cannons for defense, it was soon conquered and the garrison killed. On August 12, 800 citizens were taken to the hill of Minerva, now called the Hill of the Martyrs, and beheaded because they refused to renounce their Catholic faith. Their remains were taken to the cathedral and the skulls preserved in the altar piece as a prominent reminder of these 800 martyrs.
