Can I just point out that this is newsworthy BECAUSE it is exceptional. Britain is not like this, and I'd like all the right-wing Americans who love to pounce on this sort of thing to realise that.
If we in the UK based our impressions of the US on the news we'd think they're all gun-toting rednecks who can't think without shooting something first.
Brilliant. And, as a side-benefit, children get used to the idea of having condoms around and not having any stigma attached to having them.
Just think of all the disease and pregnancies that could be avoided if all teenagers in the world could have a condom in their pocket and be able to tell mum/dad "It's for making a football".
The whole business seems ripe for misuse. Worse, it would seem that only well off families could afford to help their children through it. That seems utterly wrong.
Except the women, of course....

If you don't want to land in jail, don't break the local rules. You might not like them, they might seem odd or bizarre, but they're the rules.
By those standards my tee-shirt drawer is worth nearly 12 thousand.
