Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That’s about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.
So naturally, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS research decided to step and make sure there were no hitches in Olympic action.
“When we heard about the condom shortage in Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately,” said Kerry Whiteside, CANFAR’s Executive Director. The organization assembled three large boxes of about 8,500 condoms, much to the relief of libidos at the Olympic Village. They’re expected to arrive on Thursday.

“ My feeling is that the modern workplace is structured completely wrong. It’s really optimized for interruptions. And, interruptions are the enemy of work. They’re the enemy of productivity, they’re the enemy of creativity, they’re the enemy of everything. But that’s what the modern workplace is all about, is interruptions. … People go to work today, and then they end up doing most of their real work after work or on the weekends.
…
Managers are the biggest problem. Because their whole world is built around interruption. That’s what they do.
