Remember the Pope’s statements about how condoms are bad? How they are only making the AIDS epidemic worse? Well his C-level supervisor doesn’t agree. Jesus Christ shows the Pope who’s boss in this hilarious video which answers the question “what would Jesus do?”

Happy Good Friday!

Pope: Condoms Make AIDS Worse

18 Mar 2009

How many of you — regardless of religious beliefs — can really call this statement valid?

The Pope has really outdone himself this time. Going a step beyond John Paul the II’s assertion that abstinence is preferable to condoms — which in itself is ridiculous — Benedict has clearly gone off the deep end. Condoms worsen the problem? That’s just crazy talk. AIDS experts in South Africa agree:

Rebecca Hodes, head of policy for the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa’s city of Capetown, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday they were “extremely angered and saddened by this ill-considered response from the pope”.

“We know, based on over the 10-year experience of preventing and treating HIV in South Africa, that condoms are one of the only evidence-based means of preventing HIV available to us in Africa,” she said.

“There is very little evidence to support abstinence-only education campaigns as a means of preventing HIV. Condoms work in preventing HIV.”

Durex Ad: Bunnies Safe for NSFW?

This new viral video ad from Durex condoms leaves me wondering: is this safe or not safe for work? If your boss comes by and sees you watching videos of condom balloon bunnies, don’t say I didn’t warn you…kind of.

Something tells me this ad will be relegated to the Internet and will never see the light of day on TV. At least not in the U.S.

Brazillian Soccer Team to Go on Viagra

You’ve heard of athletes using steroids to soup up their game, but what about Viagra? Well one Brazilian soccer team is about to get a prescription for the wonder drug, allegedly to help them fight the effects of altitude sickness. Yeah…

The possibility was admitted by the club’s doctor in the city of Porto Alegre, Alarico Endres, who has been studying if the blue pill might help oxygenization of the blood in athletes and help reduce the effects of altitude.

According to Endres, some specialists believe that the remedy used by men with erectile problems can benefit athleses who need better blood oxygenization in adverse conditions.

“Based on assumptions we won’t do anything, but if research shows scientifically that Viagra improves performance in [high] altitude, we can offer it to players,” said Endres.

I don’t want to think about the atmosphere in the locker room after one of these “altitude” treatments. Look what happens in the commercial when only ONE person is on the stuff!

When You’re a Stripper in Santiago…

…don’t try working it on the poles of the city’s metro, or you’ll get carted away:

Chilean stripper Monserrat Morilles wanted to draw attention to what she called the “conservatism” of Chilean society in a special way — by showing subway riders how she earns her keep. Apparently authorities weren’t amused, as evidenced by the above video, which shows Ms. Morilles (a.k.a. “La Diosa del Metro”) being taken away in a paddywagon.

Regardless, it looks like Montse got her point across!

Chile’s most publicized television event, Don Francisco’s yearly “Teletón” in support of disabled children — normally a snoozefest — just got hot:

A Chilean prostitute has auctioned 27 hours of sex to raise money for the country’s largest charity during an annual fund-raising campaign.

Maria Carolina became an overnight celebrity in the conservative Roman Catholic country, making news headlines and appearing on talk shows since she made her unusual donation to the televised charity event, which runs for 27 hours starting on Friday evening.

“I’ve already auctioned off the 27 hours of love,” Maria Carolina told Reuters on Wednesday, saying she had raised about $4,000. “One of my clients already paid. It seemed like a good deed to him.”

Just in case you’ve had your head in a hole over the past few days, we’re updating you on some news that has shaken Los Angeles: mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — the first Latino mayor of L.A. in over 100 years and currently in divorce proceedings — revealed that he has maintained a relationship with a news reporter from the local Telemundo station, Mirthala Salinas(image above). The basics:

On July 3rd, Mayor Villaraigosa admitted, via press conference, that he had a relationship with Salinas:

“I have had a relationship with Ms. Salinas over time. It has evolved, and today I have acknowledged that relationship,” said the mayor, who announced his separation from his wife, Corina, last month.

“I don’t believe that the details of my personal life are relevant to my job as mayor,” he said, speaking to reporters after attending a downtown swearing-in ceremony for school board members.

The Latin Lover stereotype isn’t just for men and now a new study is being presented to prove it. According to the study which looked at the sexual habits of women in 12 countries across 3 continents, more than half of Mexican, Brazilian, and Venezuelan women said they wanted a better and more frequest sex life. The other countries in the study were France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The study was presented in Mexico City by the big pharma company Bayer, who no doubt will now be marketing some sort of sexual aid in Spanish.

ABC News‘ David Puente tells us on his blog, Exclusiva, how the mayor of one town is taking the problem of a dull sex life on the part of its older residents into his own hands. The solution to the issue of seniors not having enough sex (!) is, apparently, free Viagra:

“Since we started the free distribution of sexual stimulants, our elderly population changed. They’re much happier,” said Joao de Souza Luz, the mayor of Novo Santo Antonio, a small town in the central state of Mato Grosso.

The program, which was approved by the town’s legislature has been dubbed “Happy Penis,” or “Pinto Alegre” in Portuguese.
