Planned Parenthood has taken social media’s check-in technology to a whole new level. The ability to “check in” to establishments like restaurants, gyms, clubs, virtually anywhere, using Yelp, Foursquare, and other applications has now been applied to condoms. Before getting down and dirty, you can scan the QR code on these specially designed Planned Parenthood condoms to send information to wheredidyouwearit.com. Your “story” will then be shared on a nationwide map that pinpoints the approximate location of your safe sex, your age, relationship status, and of course, how good the experience was.

In a campaign that started this past Valentine’s Day, Planned Parenthood sent over 50,000 condoms to college campuses across America. Though critics have been decrying the effort as encouraging sex, the organization views the situation differently. In a disclaimer on the page where you enter in details of the experience, Planned Parenthood writes, “But remember: Sex happens. We’re not encouraging you to have sex or not have sex.

Just keep in mind the following:
"In selecting proposals, the committee will give favorable consideration to those that are:
Collaborative within and across departments and disciplines or an outside organization (e.g. an NGO, company or social entrepreneur) Pilot Projects or early stage, but include elements of impact evaluation Training opportunities for graduate or undergraduate students Partnerships with individuals or organizations in resource-poor settings Likely to attract new or additional extramural funding"
(in other words, make your project a Soros-friendly project)
As juvenile as it is, I’m surprised it took so long for someone to try this out as a social network. College students were the perfect text market. They don’t shut up about anything.
Is this like the old joke where the tatoo “Shorty” becomes “Shorty’s Sunoco Service, Punxatawney PA, We Give Green Stamps”?

Do the kids get badges?
1. yelp reviews are rampant with fakes. (for and against)

Go outside local [insert leftist organization here] take “did it picture” with someone elses phone.
After a while it will appear that [insert leftist organization here] is hedonism central.
then again this gag make reduce the hedonism stats of an organization.
