What in the name of...Do these people have no shame? Where is the humanity?
UN sends condoms to starving people in Myanmar
Bangkok, May. 23, 2008 (CWNews.com) - In answer to the grave humanitarian crisis among cyclone victims in Myanmar, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) is sending nearly 250,000 condoms.
"We don't want regular use of contraception disrupted," a spokesman for the UNFPA told reporters. The UN agency is also providing oral and injected contraceptives.
More than 2 million people in Myanmar face an urgent need for food, clothing, medication, and shelter.
So, people are starving to death by the tens of thousands but, God forbid they start having unprotected sex! Because when people are dropping like flies from starvation all they want to do is have sex, right? This is despicable! Where is the humanity? This is lunacy. I just can't conjure up the words to describe this depravity.
PS (May 25) On the lighter side, after some thinking, I realize that the UN probably mistakenly delivered condoms instead of something else due to a linguistic error that I myself have committed. See, France handles a large amount of UN activity as do Anglophones. Once when I was in Paris I commented that the food was so delicious and that it undoubtedly had very few préservatifs, to which my colleague began laughing at me. Little did I know that this false cognate actually is the French word for CONDOMS. So I said that my food had very few condoms in it. The word I was looking for was conservateurs for preservatives. Surely, this mix-up would explain why the UN so erroneously shipped such a massive quantity of condoms to Myanmar instead of preservatives to help their food stocks last longer. Yep, that's right... (I had to lighten up such a grim piece of news).
