DC Gives Up On Distribution of Free Chinese-Made Condoms
Mad Professah has been following the ongoing Washington, D.C. condom controversy for months. What happened was that the D.C. Department of Public Health gave awayhundreds of thousands of free condoms to various non-profots in order to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS in the city but soon there were reports of shoddy condoms and free condoms being returned to service providers with complaints. Now comes word that D.C. has given up on distributing any more Chinese-made condoms as hundreds of thousands of the defective prophylactics have been returned. However, the maker of Trojan-brand condoms has agreed to donate 350, 000 condoms to the City in order to support the free condom giveaway program.
