89 million condoms to be given out at Brazil's carnival

I first thought the number was a typo, but calls to the CIA's condom intelligence division have confirmed. The Brazilian health ministry will be handing out 89 million condoms during the Rio Carnival, long noted as the party of parties. This is up significantly from the 26 million they handed out at last years' carnival. I have to think this makes Carnival the sexiest place/time in the world, short of Charlie Sheen's mansion.

There is a good reason for this. According to health officials in Brazil,  630,000 people in Brazil are infected with the AIDS virus. Fair enough.  Party on!
