Weapons of mass condoms
Harare - The United States was trying to remove Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe from power with millions of condoms as weapons, state radio in Zimbabwe said on Wednesday.

It said President George Bush's regime was behind the "rebranding" of prophylactics that carry a bright red and yellow sticker advertising "revolutionary condoms" and a message urging Zimbabweans to "get up, stand up!"

A bulletin said condoms carrying a sticker with "an oppositional political message" were being distributed throughout Zimbabwe "in what appears to be collusion between opposition groups and a United States-based condom manufacturer".

Could we put AWOL into exile this way?

1. Mugabe needs a woman --
Someone with whom he can rediscover the meaning of "get up, stand up!"

Or maybe he doesn't like reggae?

3. Now wait a minute, W. won't let the CDC post info about condoms
On their website but he's willing to use them in a campaign to oust Mugabe?

1) I would not be surprised. After all, those aren't white people fucking and making babies over there, for God's sake. And we know who W. cares about.

2) It's from a Zimbabwean news agency, so it may or may not be true.

3) Was this the AIDS aid W. talked about giving to Africa?
