New App Helps You Find Condoms

MTV, in apparent recognition that contraceptive access can be a challenge and that people like to play with their phones, is launching a mobile app that tells people where to buy condoms. (Is there a Grindr add-on option?)

Mashable says much of the information will be crowdsourced. (It also includes this asinine passage: “iCondom is well-timed with a controversial new government health care plan that would eliminate out-of-pocket costs for women’s birth control. Condom controversy usually revolves around a condom’s ability to prevent pregnancy rather than its ability to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.” Huh? Also, stop accepting the framing point that basic health care is “controversial.”)
