EVIL NEWS: South African Invents New Condom

"Using an ordinary condom is a real pain," says Pronto condom designer Willem van Rensburg. "By the time the condom is on, the mood is halfway out the window."

New Pronto condoms can be unwrapped in less than three seconds. The wrapper contains tiny, soft plastic hooks that unroll the condom from the inside as the wrapper is pulled downward. The company hopes that by cutting down on the hassle, they can promote protection in an area where AIDS is more prevalent.

The ads (which can be seen on the Pronto site) poke fun at two South African politicians: former Deputy President Jacob Zuma and Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.
