In Germany, a Condom/Rubber is a "Gummi". A bear made out of gummi's. Gummi Baerchen. Gummi Baerchen (Gummi Bears) are also a very tasty candy. Get it? Huh? huh? I think it's hysterical.
I've wanted a picture of this billboard ever since I got my digital camera, but they must have ended this particular "Don't Give AIDS a Chance" campaign shortly before. However, when we visited a very small town today to buy my new dishes direct from the factory, they still had this one up, so I made Dad pull over so I could take a picture. Got quite a few strange looks from the people in the bus passing by, but hey....I got my pic! :)
