"The condoms were placed in rooms in hotels rated three stars and above."

That is funny and does not make sense to me. So, what they are saying is that they distribute condoms only to hotels that are rated three stars and ABOVE??? What about the other hotels that are rated below that??? Let them contract the disease???

Seems like the 1-star and 2-star hotels would need the condoms more. http://mespace.wordpress.com
