Carrying condoms illegal in Sri Lanka?!
March 29, 2007 by Honolulu
I would never have believed it if it hadn’t appeared on the front page of the Sunday Observer.
“…under the prevailing laws carrying a condom is still illegal and those carrying condoms would be subjected to a fine…”
“In Sri Lanka, a woman with a condom can be arrested by the police and this is a hindrance in popularising condoms…”
Hindrance? HINDRANCE? Are you on crack? This is a freakin’ outrage. The Ministry of Watcha-ma-callit is trying to popularize the use of condoms but it’s still illegal? Exactly how many such un-enforced laws do we have in this country? Next thing you know, they may dig up an old law book which says it’s illegal to… oh never mind. And while I’m at it:
“Talking about condoms with politicians is still a difficult task in Sri Lanka…”
So what exactly are “condoms with politicians” and why is it so hard to talk about them? Well, anyway, I gotta get back to work.
If anything politicians are the ones that really need to be using condoms as opposed to talking to them…prevent as many of those genes being passed on as possible.
f**king morions made up the old laws in SL.. now all we need is some smart people running the country. They’d be able to fix the laws.. but what the hell all you need to get into parliament is cash, thugs and well what more…
WTF? Someone please tell me this is a joke.
Umm.. condoms are perfectly legal in Sri Lanka. The woman was probably arrested for something else (eg: soliciting etc).
that’s what i thought. but apparently there is some obsolete provision somewhere…
