Amorous Swedes to Get Emergency Condom Deliveries

Jun 1, 10:50 am ET

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish aid organization will roll out a new line of defense to the country's emergency services next week -- the condom ambulance.
From Friday, June 4, amorous couples can call the telephone number 696969 and a white van featuring a large red condom with wings as a logo will deliver them a packet of 10 prophylactics.

"We need to increase the usage of condoms," said Carl Osvald, marketing manager for the Swedish Organization for Sex Education, the non-governmental organization behind the initiative. "It is 50 percent about pregnancy and 50 percent about sexually transmitted diseases."

The ambulances will operate in Stockholm and the southern cities of Malmo and Gothenberg. The service, aimed at young people, will run until June 25 and be available between four in the afternoon and nine at night.

A packet of 10 condoms will cost 50 crowns ($6.72), less than they cost on average in the shops.

The incidence of sexually transmitted disease is increasing rapidly in Sweden and not enough young people use condoms, Osvald said.

"We need to change attitudes to condoms," he said. "If we need to get out in to the bedrooms to make things better we will do it."

Shower caps are the second option in case of emergency

just don't put it back up for your mum to use in the shower again

and like buying them in the store wouldn't be embarrasing enough.. now they think I want a bigh truck with a condom logo on it parked outside my house

This is hilarious!

I mean, it's a good idea in theory, but realistically I don't see it working. How many people do you think will stop and call for a rubber? I mean, if they won't stop and go out and get them on their own, or have them beforehand... do you think they'll call for some?

I would, just for the hell of it. I think it'd be funny to have the Condom Brigade parked in your driveway to make a delivery.

that would kinda suck for the driver, every delivery get some half naked dude with a boner opening the door. gagaaahh.


I guess it is the hopes that a horny nekked chick will answer the door that keeps them going. 3 some possibilities.
