Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That’s about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.
So naturally, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS research decided to step and make sure there were no hitches in Olympic action.
“When we heard about the condom shortage in Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately,” said Kerry Whiteside, CANFAR’s Executive Director. The organization assembled three large boxes of about 8,500 condoms, much to the relief of libidos at the Olympic Village. They’re expected to arrive on Thursday.
Free condoms first started to be distributed at the Olympics in Barcelona at the 1992 Games. This appears to be the first time that a shortage has struck the Games.
Now, if only I could get my hands on some. Anyone want to hook me up? A girl can always use free condoms.
Yesterday I was in a foul mood, so I did the only thing possible: I went shopping. I know it’s terribly girlie of me, but it really did help – especially since I bought these:
go canada boots go!
They are *awesome*. People have said that they’re both ridiculous and over the top, but hello – have you met me? I’ve always wanted a pair of Go-go boots, and this is as close as I’m likely to get. All I need now is the Canada corset/skirt Pam and Scott made for me, and I’ll be a walking spectacle of patriotism and boobs:
standing on guard for thee (in 2003)
Even without the corset, I’m rocking the boots today to cheer for our curlers and women’s hockey team. Look at me, caring about sports and junk! It’s so cute.
The weather has turned gorgeous again, and I am full of angst that I am not outside to enjoy the last few days of the Olympics. I never thought that I’d be this into things, but it’s been a blast and I will be sad to see it all over.
No time for that now, though – I have pins to mail out and ridiculous boots to rock, not to mention a concert to go to tonight (finally going to see Jonathan Coulton live – rocking out, nerd style). Yay!

Those boots will look stunning against your black scooter. Just sayin’!
Team Canada!
OMG – those boots are the bomb! Awesome!
Holy crap! That is some awesome sexiness… LOVE the outfit… and just add the boots for perfection! Sweet! Go Canada Go!
That was…. *2003*?!? That was *seven* years ago. I feel so old.
We were awesome tho. ;)
Hey, you were into white patriotic latex BEFORE it was cool.
The boots are just the perfect addition to complete an already fabulous wardrobe =)
I can’t see the boots for the boobs. Fuck, I keep forgetting how fantastic they are.
I saw someone wearing those boots the other day – they are AWESOME. Work it.
CNN claims all the condoms weren’t just for the Olympians. They say they had them around as souvenirs!! I think someone gypped you prophylactic awesomeness. http://tiny.cc/W0OrE
