STI mousepads!
i just need to announce this:
i’m in the main computer lab at uni and the mousepad i’m using has a chart of STDs printed on it! i wish i could take a picture of this. it’s called: Below The Belt: A Young Persons Guide and it lists, in alphabetical order: Chlamydia (which i always thought would be such a beautiful name for a girl if it weren’t already the name of a terrible STD); Crabs; Gonorrhea; Hepatitis; Herpes; HIV; Syphilis; Thrush; Trichomonas; Warts.
you can tell i’m not making this up because all the diseases are spelled correctly. next to each name is a box explaining how the STI/STD is passed, an appropriate mode of prevention (mostly condoms), and the long-term effects if untreated.
pretty horrendous, but actually, printing this on university mousepads might make a few 18 yr-olds think twice. let’s hope, anyway…
