Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke Controversy, Take Two: Sir Richard's Condoms' 'Sluts Unite' Campaign

Rush Limbaugh

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 03/12/2012 12:52 pm Updated: 03/12/2012 12:52 pm

A public service campaign that disses Rush Limbaugh and sells safe sex hopes to cause a sensation. Sir Richard's Condoms has conceived a "Sluts Unite" website and social media drive to promote healthy nookie while mocking Limbaugh's infamous "slut" insult of law student Sandra Fluke.

The campaign calls on supporters to choose from a menu of social media avatars such as "I Believe In Slut" and "Pro-Slut."

Sir Richard's (we love the knighted touch), a small business based in Boulder, Colo., also came up with an oath. It's not as easy to remember as the Pledge of Allegiance, but it'll do:

"I believe that sex represents more than just the creation of children.
I believe it is an enjoyable, healthy and a profound part of the human experience.
I also believe that the responsible use of birth control is an essential component of a mature, civilized society.
And if these beliefs make me a slut in some people’s eyes, then so be it."

Sir Richard's, which donates a condom for every one it sells, has become the latest company to embrace so-called "conscious consumerism".

Among other companies combining social activism and advertising are Tom's Shoes, which donates a pair of slip-ons for every pair it sells, and SunNight Solar, which reportedly has donated more than 300,000 solar-powered torches to areas such as Haiti and Gaza.

It would be a blessing if every CONservo baggertrollie understood the Cotraception issue. Total belief in what rightwing radio or what the repubies lie about is no way to make an informed decision in both on how they vote and how they live their lives.

In exactly what way do you think you are paying for anyone's fun? Maybe you just like being judgmental and disapproving especially about sex? Had any lately?

He's exactly like that, and "he hasn't" is the answer to the third question.

"I also believe that the responsible use of birth control is an essential component of a mature, civilized society."

I believe that paying for your own birth control is an essential component of a mature, civilized society.

I like Boulder for all the wacko's that do the thinking around here. Great bunch of creative people.

But I'm just not interested in the arguement.

I am down with both of those statements. I guess I am a slut. Could not image life without the sexy part.

The poll was by phone because not many voters would have been able to read a printed page.

You know, celibacy does not in any way increase your brain cells. And having sexy fun does not in any way decrease them. Your comment is obnoxious.

I'm speaking of the realities of education levels & you're assuming my sex life? Good pimping for Ms. Coulter.

I can get behind that.

I prefer the front :)
