    Never have I seen such complete and utter ignorance towards mass protests like that, all for the sake of putting forth a draconian policy. To make matters worse, they passed it by using a loophole that by all intents throws democracy out the window.

    I really do fear for the future when it comes to American politics. If the GOP/Tea Party ever get a hold on power, we could be in very very serious trouble.

    Generally just the company logo for the more popular brands. Usually in a solid color or pattern. Like this:
    trojan-variety2.jpg
    I'm sure some specialist company makes one with more lurid marketing in the states but generally that's as erotic as they get.

    Pretty sure it goes:

    COMPANY NAME

    CONDOMS

    ultra-thin ribs for her glow-in-the-dark pleasure



    Maybe there's a logo or something behind all that.

    ugh just spent two hours on one logic problem

    i am so fucking stubborn. all i had to do was give up and hit "try another" for a new problem.

    but nope I had to get the first one out of my three chances.

    So instead of solving the second attempt in 5 minutes I spent two hours on the first one only to end up giving in. Ughhh

    The police officer that took statements from one of the women was... a personal friend of that woman, and politically engaged in the same organization as that woman.

    The inability to get an erection is the best contraception.

    I'm not sure that sexy ladies on condoms makes sense either. You don't need sexy ladies (or men) if you're buying condoms, they are specifically for the times when you've persuaded (or paid) somebody to play with your bits.

    Yeah. The police officer's Facebook page had comments cheering for the woman's lawyer and stuff.

    Not to mention that she was kind of required to report any potential bias in a case.

    Here's a google mangling of the article since I'm lazy.
    Express can today reveal that there really was a political and personal connection between one of the notifying women and the interrogators, whose preliminary hearing weighed heavily when prosecutors decided to seek the Assange in August last year.
    Interrogator and the woman who reported Julian Assange got to know each other by both involved in the Socialist Party.
    The Interrogator has inter alia been a board member for the LGBT social democrats.
    The Interrogator has - although she participated in the criminal investigation against Assange - strongly negative comments Wikileaksgrundaren on his Facebook page.
    When the newspaper Aftonbladet recently let his readers to chat with Assange commented interrogator:
    "What the hell is this supposed to be??? Rating zero!"
    The day before she celebrated in a status update on the same side of the notifying women Claimant counsel:
    "Cheer Claes Borgström!"
    Links continue to blog
    In another status update by the end of February this year said the interrogator about the "over-hyped bubble burst Assange".
    In their blogs, the interrogator and the woman who reported Julian Assange been open about their friendship. As recently as February 10 this year commented on the woman a status update as interrogator made on his Facebook page.
    The woman still links from their web site for questioning leader's private blog.
    As early as 16 months before Assange came to Sweden, invited by the woman who then reported him, said the interrogator and the woman openly to each other online.
    Interrogator quoted in April 2009 from a blog post that Assange-woman writing about white men "who take it upon themselves to decide what is offensive." Interrogator found that the party comrade wrote "puts its finger on the essence and speaks for itself."
    Assange-woman replied by making a personal greeting on questioning leader's blog:
    "Hello, Thanks for the props:) And as I say, strange that the white men always have to defend the right to use offensive words. Then they deny of course that these words are part of the system that keeps their group remained at the top of the social fabric."
    16 months later, thus the female police officers, as interrogators in Assange-study, play an important role in Wikileaks-founder, first arrested in absentia on suspicion of rape. The female police had quickly realized that her friend and party comrade was one of the plaintiffs - yet she was interrogators in the investigation. At 16:21 she began the hearing by notifying the other woman - but to declare a conflict of interest.
    The hearing was initially to play a crucial role in on-call prosecutor Mary Häljebo Kjellstrand decided to arrest Julian Assange in his absence.

    What I mostly remember is that video premiered on 120 Minutes on MTV two weeks after I started college, and I was sitting in my dorm room watching it on my Toshiba Infinia computer that had a TV tuner card in it, 13 years ago.

    I immediately logged onto Napster, and then Morpheus, to find the song...

    Then how do you know how much shame to feel? You are buying condoms to have sex. Sex with no chance of babies. Possibly out of wedlock. That is double-hell right there. The cashier is judging you for practising safe sex.
