Would it be in poor taste...

...to tape a condom to my door and put a sign saying 'Viva il Papa!' underneath?

Whether I do this this evening is strictly based on the response I get here.

EDIT The idea is a dig at Ratzinger's thesis that prophylactics hurt the battle against AIDS by encouraging people to have sex more freely, a claim that was refuted by experiment and by its clear purpose as a bit of anti-birth-control propaganda rather than an honest contribution to said battle. It's also meant to satirize the foolishness, in the current times, of putting some specific ideology ahead of empirical social planning as represented by birth control. This is a specific manifestation of a general tendency which irks me, and my satire would only be taking advantage of the occasion.

EDIT My neighbours are native South Korean and Chinese, and therefore unlikely to be offended.

Not at all. In fact, it would be a superb social commentary that get you mad props from this guy. 😀

The second sentence in my post was my first bald-faced RHP lie since telling Ivanhoe I was Kribz, because my door's been flying the Durex flag since before I made that post 😀.

Provided the condom is used first, I have no objection.

I'll give you half a prop because it's unused. To better demonstrate your point it should be used by example.

If condoms encourage people to have sex, perhaps you ought tape a slew of condoms to your door, or, better yet, begin distributing them directly to co-eds.

Do you mean placing pie in front of you does not make it more likely you will take a bite?

Have you noticed, that people are still having sex?
All the denouncement, had absolutely no effect.
Parents and counselors, constantly scorn them.
But people are still having sex and nothing seems to stop them.
Do you realize that people are still having sex?
They've been told not to, perhaps they are perplexed.
When you see them holding hands, they're making future plans to engage in the activity.
Do you understand me?
People are still having sex.
Lust keeps on lurking.
Nothing makes them stop.
This aids things not working.
People are still having sex.
It's been going on for quite awhile.
Perhaps it's quite fashionable.
It hasn't gone out of style.
It's a fact that people are still having sex.
It's rather obvious, it's just what one expects.
The evidence is all around.
That everyone in every town has had it one time, or another in their life.
At this very moment people are still having sex.
In a downtown condo, or street in the projects.
Although you can't see them or hear their breathing sounds.
Someone in this world is having sex right now.
People are still having sex! (x4)
Sex! Sex! Sex! Sex!
Sex! Sex! Sex! Sex!
People are still having sex.
Lust keeps on lurking.
Nothing makes them stop.
This aids things not working.
People are still having sex.
It's been going on for quite awhile.
Perhaps it's quite fashionable.
It hasn't gone out of style.
People are still having sex (x4)
Sex!

lyrics by Latour

It kinda depends on how the people acquire the condom. If it is given to them, they are encouraged not to let it go to waste. If they buy it, they probally are going to have sex whether its available or not.

Also, whats wrong with having sex? Where do you think babies come from, storks.... it may be hard to believe, but i bet Pope Benedict XVI's parents fornicated too. If they would have used a condom, we probally wouldn't have such an ugly pope, making the world a better place.

Oh, Oh! new headline for Trojan Condoms! Our condoms make the world a better place!

**Stands by to be excommunicated. Wouldn't matter though, i don't believe in God.
