So, those are the most popular news stories of the day. Indeed, a pretty sad state of affairs. The death machine keeps on grinding in Iraq and nobody really gives a shit. Hundreds of thousands are dying in Darfur, and nobody gives a shit.

Still, I absolutely have to see what the deal is with condoms in India;

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a leading state-run center, said its initial findings from a two-year study showed 60 percent of men in the financial capital Mumbai had penises about 2.4 cm (one inch) shorter than those condoms catered for.

For a further 30 percent, the difference was at least 5 cm (two inches). A poor fit meant the prophylactics often didn't do the job they were bought for, and led to some tearing or slipping off during use.

"One of the reasons for a failure of up to 20 percent (of condoms) is the association of the size of the condom to the erect penis," the council's Dr. Chander Puri told Reuters, adding another reason was couples often put them on in a hurry.

Puri said many men in India, which has the world's highest HIV positive caseload, were too shy to ask for condoms.

"We need more vending machines for condoms of different sizes so people can pick a condom with confidence that is suited to their needs," he said.

The Times of India reported the ICMR survey had studied 1,400 men between 18-50 years of age in cities like Mumbai and New Delhi as well as in rural areas in a report. It entitled its story "Indian men don't measure up."
Doubt they'd have that problem in Africa..

This reminds me of an ongoing theme of mine. Sex is the most important thing to humanity. It far outpaces anything else, including family. It's all biology.

We should leverage that to win the "war on terra". Instead of sending in the military to conquer and occupy a nation, we should send in hookers. I'm not kidding. If all the Jihadists had women to do the nasty with them night and day, there'd never be another suicide bombing ever again.

We need a draft.. of women ages 20-25, about a million of them, ready to report to Iraq and Afghanistan. Start with the Bush twins. It's better than having 3000 American soldiers die.
