Helping to Fight Against AIDS
While riding in to work this morning, I was listening to Fame FM as usual. Danae came on with Da News. She mentioned in her report that we are in Carnival week already! In Trinidad, a lot of Carnival events are going to be put on throughout the next seven days, culminating with the big Road March next week Tuesday, March 4th.
She mentioned that they are giving out sixty thousand condoms to people playing Mas starting next week Monday, under the theme “Stop AIDS from playing Mas!” Now I don’t know about you, but I think thats interesting… Sixty thousand condoms… Does that mean that the number of people playing Mas will approach 60, 000? Or will there be more? Are they really saying that of the total number of people playing Mas, somewhere in the region of 60,000 will completely lose themselves and engage in wild, reckless, drunken orgies, and thus will benefit from having these condoms near to hand?
I don’t know which it is, but whichever way they mean it, it sounds like anyone can get lucky over there next week! 
(Or unlucky, depending on how you look at it! 
)
It sounds like this is a very worthwhile cause, this condom distribution… And sixty thousand IS a big number. Its likely that the Trinis will need my assistance to aid the condom “distribution” process. It sounds like it might even be a pleasurable activity. And I’m sure that Natty will understand that I’m needed over there, after all, its for a good cause, right? Do you think she’ll go for it?

60,000 condoms means 120,000 people by my reckoning. Or somebody having more than their fair share.
Good point, Gert.
Look, in this day and age they should not even have to distribute the damn boots. The people should well know to walk, ‘ride’ and drive with their own if they are going to ‘play mas’ and all else that ‘comes’ with so doing. Anyone who is unaware of this in 2003 is clearly living in a bubble. Anyway, enuff of me and my seriousness. I only hope that the brand of boots they will be distributing to the 60 thousand is not some cheap generic government brand. Them cheap shit rubbers cannot stand up to the ‘work’ and will buss pon you and salt up you life!
I have to say I’m lucky, I’m married now, but doesn’t stop me from possibly already have been infected due to my ex husband found the “true lovin’ feeling” by many of women while we were married. I think this is a great idea…..I’d send Speed if that is what we used to get “free of charge” and enjoy the party issues…..where do I donate!!!
That’s a shitload of condoms!
I don’t suppose your wife would mind so long as distributing them is all you have in mind, now if you want to be using any you best be bringing her along!!
a Brazil Carnival yuh fi see!1 condoms needed in the millions
