Olympic Rings

FromCNN (the "who needs this information department"):

The medals have been presented, the caldron extinguished and the crowds dispersed, but there's one record from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics that may have been overlooked: Most condoms distributed at a Winter Games.

It's hard to say this conclusively, and judges from other host cities may demand a recount, but Clay Adams of Vancouver Coastal Health said the word on the public health street is that Vancouver is king of the prophylactic winter rings.

Over the course of 17 days, the health agency doled out 100,000 condoms, supplied by the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control.

I sincerely hope...given my experiences, and ranting/rage with their sub-standard products...that these puppies were not made in China.

I've never been made in China...

JenJen said...

holy hell....hahaha. Well. meh.

jadedj said...

Doug---Probably just as well...two hours later you'll feel horny again anyway.

jadedj said...

Jen Jen---Are you sure?

intelliwench said...

...and what did they hand out at the Salt Lake games, I wonder?

diane said...

@intelliwench: wedding bands.

diane said...

crap, I meant to say rings instead of bands.

Mandazoid said...

It makes sense. The kinkiest fuckers I ever met on JS were all Canadians.

mo.stoneskin said...

When running in the Olympics it is important to streamline your body to eliminate air resistance.

the walking man said...

We'll know in 9 months what Olympians got made by the china breakers.

Holte Ender said...

Great minds think alike JJ.

jadedj said...

intell---Bibles.

diane----Bibles and wedding bands and rings

Mandazoid---Let's hope thE condoms weren't kinky. Hey, btw...thanks for stopping by.

mo---Nude runners? Damn, I missed that event. Would have skipped the dudes category however.

walking man---Har har har!

Holte---I hope THESE weren't the shoddy products you encountered.

becomingkate said...

Canadians are very sexy.

Mr. Charleston said...

It turns out that all 100,000 of them went one athlete. Why the sport and the medal ceremony wasn't carried on NBC is a mystery.

jadedj said...

kate---I'll go along with that...with qualification :)

Mr. C---I didn't know golf was a part of the Winter Olympics.

Chimp said...

Was Tiger Woods in the Olympics? Maybe he got all 100,000 - and in assorted colors yet.

Don’t let Sarah Palin’s “virgin” daughter find out that our “children” were given “sex implements“.

jadedj said...

Chimp---I believe Tiger is laying low.

As to the Palins, they can see Canada from their back door you know.

Punch said...

De Tar Baby,
she sot dar,
she did,
en Brer Fox,
he lay low

jadedj said...

Punch---If my insurance premiums ever go down, I am going to use the difference to hire someone to translate your comments for me.

Punch said...

"Brer Fox,
he sorter chuckle in his stummick, he did,
but Tar-Baby ain't sayin' nothin'.

"'I'm gwine ter larn you how ter talk ter 'spectubble folks ef hit's de las' ack,'
sez Brer Rabbit, sezee.
'Ef you don't take off dat hat en tell me howdy, I'm gwine ter bus' you wide open,' sezee.

"Tar-Baby stay still,
en Brer Fox, he lay low.

intelliwench said...

Jaded, I find that Punch's comments are like Robert Burns' poetry: If you read them out loud, they make more sense.

(You just might want to make sure you're out of anyone else's earshot before testing my theory.)

jadedj said...

Brer Punch---I like the "...lay low" part. Perhaps you should consider this.

intell---Good suggestion, I tried it and found that it only works in Punch's case, with a mouth full of grits. Any suggestions regards cleaning my laptop screen?

Chimp said...

Sarah Palin must have the best home location. From the kitchen window she can see Russia's Putin (putim' garbage in trash). From the back door, the Canadian Parliament. From the living room window, she can see Kim of N. Korea. This is some savee lady. Maybe she should be our prez in 2012! (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) [Long Live Monty Python!]

jadedj said...

Chimp---one other important aspect of Palin's position (not the horizontal, or bent over one), is the fact that from her loo (not ig), she can see the North Pole as well. This could be to our advantage come xmas time.

Intelliwench asked what they handed out in SLC, you replied "bibles". No sir, not at all. The Book of Mormon, but of course.

I read an article that said it worked out to something like 14 condoms per athlete, to which I say, "Makes sense, they're all in remarkably good shape, after all."

I do find it amusing that there is any hand wringing from any corner of the globe over the number of condoms used. Just think what that implies about prior Olympics. Sex being a given, we must have some junior Olympians running about, somewhere.

jadedj said...

L of s---Oops, silly ass me. I stand corrected. My preference would be the Book of Brian, the inspired word of the Python. We read it religiously here in my home.

Regards the hand wringing...but were they all used? Ha.

Harlequin said...

well, thanks on behalf of all the other kinky sexy Canadians; if we can't be proud of condom sales, then what else is there, really...
loved the multicolored mascots...

jadedj said...

Harlequin---Just trying to do my part for truth and justice. Yes, it is a wonderful world of color, is it not :-)

Lori E said...

We Canadians are nothing if not a good hosts. Don't want people going home with parting gifts that they were not expecting.
BTW we are building a giant camouflage covering so Sarah P. can't see us any more. It is painted to look like the north pole.

jadedj said...

Lori E---Or LEAVING unexpected gifts, methinks.

Har, har, har...best belly laugh and best idea of the month regards the Palin comment.
