The Saftey Catwalk for Awareness

A Condom Fashion Show in China

Models parade in outfits made of condoms during a fashion show at the 4th China Reproductive Health New Technologies & Products Expo in Beijing July 11, 2007. Condoms of all shapes and sizes were used to make dresses, hats and even lollipops. Models fought through extravagant soap bubble special effects to show off tight-fitting wedding gowns, scaly-looking evening dresses, outrageous bikinis and other garments made entirely of condoms. The show was held at the Fourth China Reproductive Health New Technologies and Products Expo and organized by China’s largest condom manufacturer, Guilin Latex Factory, to promote the use of condoms in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It also marked World Population Day, organized annually by the U.N. Population Fund.









Dirty Sanchez

I’m not going to write much about this one, but if there was a land where irony met hypocracy, the GOP would be that homeland.

The GOP have been grabbing at military figures to promote the benefits of the war, through their own story. Propping them up as symbols of America, Freedom, our ability to be the ones in the right in starting and completing our engagements in Iraq and sending the message that any such criticism of the war is completely polar to those beliefs and down right unAmerican. One such tool is marine Cpl. Matt Sanchez who recently appeared on right-wing talk shows to discuss how he was mistreated by some of Columbia’s “radical” anti-military students. He’s also the military representative making appearances at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference where Mitt Romney introduced Ann Coulter and she made her comments of John Edwards being synonymous with “faggot”.

The irony here is that it turns out that Matt Sanchez is also known as Rod Majors in several gay porn movies; something that stout conservatives are whole heartedly against, let alone being associated with someone involved in those circle jerk sessions. Joe. My God. broke the story that was quickly picked up by Keith Olbermann as a national report.

Here’s another take on this story from Huffington.

Something tells me we’ll see more of both Republicans and secret gays to come…..

Haggard the horrible

If you know this story then you like me have to be saying…wow…wow! If you don’t here’s the build up:

Known as Pastor Ted, Mr. Haggard is the founder of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a founder of the Association of Life-Giving Churches and the President of the National Association of Evangelicals (a cooperative ministry for 300+ evangelical denominations of Protestant Christians in the United States). He speaks not only the WORD of GOD but THE word to 30+ million protestant Christians in the US (for those into math, that’s about 10% of this country). Colorado Springs has the highest concentration of evangelicals in the nation and is the “Mecca” so to speak for Christians touring the country, drawn to this epicenter of megachurches.

On November 2nd, 2006 a male hooker, Mike Jones, made allegations he maintained a three-year-long sexual relationship which included the used of methamphetamine during his visits with Jones. Subsequently he did not deny the accusations and resigned from all his posts within the Church and Association.

Attached is an unbelievably ironic clip from the documentary Jesus Camp of Ted Haggard commenting on his anti-gay stance:

Oh and by the way, he had weekly calls every Monday with Mr. Bush and some of his advisers, to advise the president on strengthening the evangelical movement in America… I guess hippocrates associate with other hippocrates.
