So apparently the Beijing Olympics organizers distributed condoms to all the athletes of the olympic village this past summer, which really insn't that crazy. I mean a whole bunch of stressed out young athletic people crammed in one spot? The writing is on the wall (gross!). But what is interesting is the phenomenal overestimation by the organizers of the Olympics as they distributed 100,000 jimmy hats to the athletes, and the fact that the condoms are individually marked with the olympic slogan: "faster, higher, stronger." HA! In any case there were a bunch left over and they are now up for auction in units of 5,000 condoms with a starting bid of 730 dollars. Don't be scared...be prepared."Both teams played hard...goodnight and godbless." (lolz)
This is boner-fide, and has been part of the Olympic tradition for a long time, no joke. In past olympics, condom machines in the Olympic Village have been re-stocked at an alarming rate, and Beijing was just trying to head that off. I've always heard that it has to do with the athletes' tapering their workouts before the events, and the pent up energy from that. It may also have to do with the whole "two weeks, no commitment" thing. It's like international summer camp. Gotta get some!
