(Jan. 27) – Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a giant flying condom!
The French have unveiled their latest weapon in the battle against sexually transmitted diseases: a 120-foot condom filled with helium that went on display Tuesday at the Palais de la Decouverte in Paris.
The giant inflatable – dubbed "Condomfiere" – will set off on a five-continent tour to promote World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, part of a campaign started by the safe-sex group CondomFly.
The dirigible condom seats three passengers plus a pilot and comes equipped with an on-board computer, satellite antennas and audiovisual equipment.
Before starting its international sojourn, the floating behemoth will stop in Vienna for the 18th International AIDS Conference in June, where it will disperse heath information, as it will throughout its travels.
Even if Condomfiere could make it to the United States by Thanksgiving, it's unlikely Macy's will include it among the giant balloons it parades down Broadway.
And that's not just because of Condomfiere's sexual nature. It's also because of its size.

Truth is stranger than fiction. I had to check if it came from the Onion, Scrappleface, etc. Nope. Apparently legit. Just wow.
Are there a lot of 500-yard flying squid catching AIDS? How is this going to help anyone else?
Thanks, France! I feel my AIDS clearing up already.
In small print, near the bottom... “MADE IN USA - SIZE: MEDIUM”
You took the words out of my mouth ...
Leave it to the French to come up with something so crude and useless.
Maybe the next crude move will have a circumsized penis for population control?
Or maybe promote more “gay” sex because their perverted sex cannot produce babies?
Is it ribbed?
Apart from the jokes, encouraging gay sex with condoms is is good way to spread AIDS, not prevent it.
But then again, all those people receiving billions in AIDS grants from our taxes wouldn’t want to end it, would they? It’s what they do for a living.
A shame the mighty French didn’t use something like this to defend Paris from the Germans! A stunned Hitler army might have turned around and gone home, figuring France wasn’t worth the effort!
Giving new meaning to the question, “Who gives a flying.....”
It would leave an really big outline in the backpocket of my jeans.
Eeeeet’s a beeg deeeck!
Look for the HIV rate to increase as a result of this. The promotion of abstinence and monogamy are what reduces HIV rates as proven by what is occurring in Africa and Uganda.
Most of the hairy French women I wouldn’t touch with a 120 foot flying condom.
Gayer than Germany's flying condom.
