That's MISTER Condom To You

Pregnancy and HIV transmission rates in Thailand are surprisingly low, thanks in part to the "fabulously successful" efforts of Mechai Viravaidya, otherwise known as Mr. Condom. Mechai has decorated a restaurant with condom-covered lampshades, asked Buddhist monks to bless batches of condoms, and even "encouraged people to blow them into balloons."

This campy safe-sex hero is so well-known, his first name is slang for condom in Thai.

If a man with a condom teddy bear can change the world, imagine what we could do if we put down the McDonald's and turned off the tube.
