Condoms

Right now, this is the number one most e-mailed article on BBC News' Web site:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6161691.stm

And the lead paragraph from the story:
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

I imagine that most people around the world would laugh when they first read this article, which is probably why it's the most popular right now. I admit I had to snicker when I saw the title, but in all honesty this is a serious problem.

India has the highest number of HIV cases of any nation, and condom use has proven to be enormously effective in reducing the spread of HIV in places like Thailand. When condoms don't fit properly, they break or fall off, and don't do what they're intended to do.

So remember, wrap it up, and keep it real. Peace.
