    Condoms required



    Leading edge encouragment to carry condoms... a fine
    for disobedience
    .

    Capital One's "What's in your
    pocket
    ?" on steroids.

    Anyone caught without a condom would have to pay a small fine or attend a three-hour Aids prevention class, according to Mr Peña.

    Mr Peña says previous Aids prevention campaigns have been "misguided".
    "They say 'use a condom' instead of 'carry a condom and then use it'. If you're always carrying a condom it is much easier to use it, that's why I made my proposal," he said.

    Father Jesús Velásquez of the local church said he would not let the measure pass without a fight, comparing it to "selling guns in the streets. What we need is education and respect for moral and Christian values."

    A bit more detail from SFGate.

    The Rev. Jesus Velasquez said it would only encourage sexual relations and ridiculed it as absurd. "I would have to have a condom even though I'm a member of the clergy," he was quoted as saying in the newspaper El Tiempo.

    The capital city of Bogota handed out more than 2 million free condoms last year as part of a campaign titled "Use it instinctively — make yourself sexy."
