Condom Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Condom) is a Catholic church and former cathedral dedicated to Saint Peter in Condom, Gers, France. It was listed as a monument historique in 1840.
En 2019, comme nous passions une nuit à Condom ( sur le Chemin de Compostelle) nous avons pris quelques moments pour visiter la très belle Cathédrale.
Quiconque a déjà utilisé ces distributeurs automatiques de préservatifs se doute bien qu'ils doivent se recharger de temps en temps ; comme les distributeurs automatiques de billets, ce genre de recharge fait partie des événements assez peu communs et pourtant si banals... Ca ne se voit pas tous les jours, pourtant ça arrive tous les jours !
More logical packaging for condoms

Mechai Viravaidya (born 17 January 1941, Thai: มีชัย วีระไวทยะ; rtgs: Michai Wirawaithaya) is a former politician and activist in Thailand who promoted condoms, family planning and AIDS awareness in Thailand.[1] Since the 1970s, Mechai has been affectionately known as "Mr. Condom", and condoms are often referred as "mechais" in Thailand.[2] From the time that he began his work, the average number of children in Thai families has decreased from 7 to 1.5.[3]
Mechai was born in Bangkok to a Scottish mother and a Thai father, both of whom were doctors and had met when studying in Edinburgh.[4][5] He is one of four children. His younger brother, Sunya, is the founder of the Pattaya International Hospital. One of his sisters, Sumalee, was a journalist in Bangkok before she married an American. Mechai was educated in Australia at Geelong Grammar School and at Trinity College at the University of Melbourne, where he obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree. In 1965, he returned to Thailand and started to work in family planning, emphasizing the use of condoms. In 1973, he left the civil service and founded a non-profit service organization, the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), to continue his efforts to improve the lives of the rural poor. He used such events as holding condom blowing contests for school children, encouraging taxi drivers to hand out condoms to their customers, and founding a restaurant chain called Cabbages and Condoms, where condoms are given to customers with the bill.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechai_Viravaidya
