NYC Launching Official City Condom

[brooklynite]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Available soon from City Hall: an official New York City condom.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration is focused on reducing rates of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS, and part of the strategy is the aggressive promotion of free condoms. Officials are banking on the idea that more people will use condoms if they're wrapped in jazzy packaging.

One idea for the design of the official city condom is a subway theme, with maps and colors of the different lines emblazoned on the wrappers. The health department says a number of possibilities are under consideration.

``Brands work, and people use branded items more than they use non branded items, whether it's a cola or a medicine even,'' Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden said in an interview. ``Brands add value and they increase use.''
