Free condoms? New York City has an app for that
New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is closing schools, shuttering fire houses, and slashing his budget to the bone. Or so he'll have you think.
Meanwhile, his health department passes out 36 million free condoms each year. And now they've launched an iPhone / Android "app" which makes it easier to locate the nearest supply when you're in the mood for some casual sex.
The New York City Health Department on Monday unveiled a smartphone application that will help users locate the nearest place in the area giving out free condoms.
"We want New York City to be the safest city in the world to have sex," said Dr. Monica Sweeney, the city's assistant health commissioner. "A lot of people come here for that, so we want them to practice safer sex."
And here I thought they'd cleaned up Times Square. Silly me! Sort of puts a whole new spin on "I love New York" doesn't it? Come for the hookers, stay for the orgies! They've got you covered.
The application, available for download on the iPhone and Android phones, taps into the city's database of over 1,000 different locations which offer free condoms.
It uses GPS technology or an address input to give users directions to the nearest five places in the city that are giving out free condoms.
Because every cash-strapped American city should give out free condoms. I'm sure there was something about that in the Articles of Confederation. It must have been lost in all the excitement over George Washington's second term.
