Brazilian Rubbers

brazilcondom040908.jpgComing soon to an eco-friendly phallus near you: rainforest condoms! The Brazilian government has begun production of condoms using rubber trees from the Amazon. The Amazonian condoms will not only provide an income for the people living in the rainforest (an estimated $1.3 million a year for 550 families) and, according to Reuters, they will somehow reduce pressure to fell trees.
