I saw a piece on the news about a new 'anti-rape' condom that will soon be marketed in South Africa. Apparently South Africa has one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world, not exactly a feature you'd include in tourism brochures. To combat the problem, an inventor has created a latex condom that is held in place on the would-be rapist's junk by rows of sharp barbs. (Sounds unpleasant to me.) It can only be removed through surgery, although I'm sure some depraved moron will try to remove one himself in order to avoid the hassle of hospital waiting rooms and, you know, getting caught. According to the article, the thingie has been tested on women, who claim it's comfortable. As for whether this contraption will be actually be a deterrent, it has "been tested on a plastic male model but not yet on a live man."

How would you like that be the guniea pig for that?
