hey, way to go chapel hill/carrboro city schools! finally someone in north carolina has the guts to teach kids how to properly use the condoms they've had stashed in their wallets since they turned eleven.

i really like that the featured teacher advises kids to stay away from lesser-known brands, like the kind you can get at truck stops. i've never shopped for condoms at a truck stop, so i'm wondering what these lesser-known brands are. and aren't truck stops supposed to be centers of sex and iniquity? or is that rest stops? are they the same?

(i also like that the classroom pictured features a poster for the o.c. it makes me feel a little nostalgic for last season, that special time before the show made that final transition into total trash.)

i'll never be elected state pride princess or anything, but i do get excited when north carolina is positively represented at the national level for something other than not being dead last in end of course testing or whatever. i was happy to find the link to this article in my new favorite blog, salon.com's
broadsheet. it's a women's issues blog (get it? BROADsheet??????) with a good sense of humor. so check that out. you might learn something that you didn't already know about, say, elective vaginal reconstructive surgery.
