Unless the contraceptive method is castration……

A lot of Ontario high-school students’ first taste of syphilis came courtesy of Henrik Ibsen’s “Ghosts”: whoring military father infects wife, who in turn passes the ol’ congenital brain-softening on to their son, and middle-class social drama ensues. It lacks the punchy ending of “Hedda Gabler”, but there’s still some Jerk value in Oswald drooling all over himself and muttering about “the sun… the sun…” as the curtain comes down.

Speaking of HG, if we can’t get an episode on contraception (which I’m also going to suggest could be terrific), how about celebrity and/or spectacular suicides?

In reply to Pai. I think contraceptives would make an awesome episode. Then for the lesser of two evils, you could choose between having your 20th kid that you can't afford to feed, or use that contraceptive...lol, I think no matter what it is I would choose the contraceptive.

Fun fact: I’m a Space Moose character, though Thrasher had no idea what I looked like. http://www.hackcanada.com/canadian/zines/spacemoose/calgary.gif

In reply to Joe. I'm sure the history of contraception in general could be interesting... I'm sure there were some wacky old wives tales about it back in the day!

In reply to Joe. well then did you know that condoms were originally made of lamb intestines, and men used to reuse them, but not before blowing on them to check for holes. And did you know that Charles Goodyear of Goodyear tires was the first to invent a rubber used in condoms. Yes my friend, people used to wrap there junk in the same stuff that made bicycle tires.....Just saying condoms have an interesting history.

In reply to Trixy Fox.

But… condoms are good, and we do shows on weird/gross things.

Unless you want an hour of me complaining that I hate wearing them but do anyway…
