Microsoft creator Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have funded a campaign towill launch a ringtone in India that chants, “condom, condom,” breitbart.com reports. The couple hope the ringtone will gain popularity with India’s teens, thereby promoting safe sex and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Because India is the world’s fastest-growing mobile telephone market (it grew 57 percent in the last year), the ringtone has high hopes to do well amongst the 270 million mobile users.

Radharani Mitra, creative director of the BBC World Service Trust, said, “Ringtones have become such personal statements that a specially created condom ringtone seemed just the right way of combining a practical message with a fun approach.”

The ringtone can be downloaded at condomcondom.org.

Some reader-submitted humor, for your pleasure…

A college class was told to write a short story in as few words as possible. The short story had to contain the following three things: religion, sexuality, and mystery.

The only A+ story in the entire class?

“Good God; I’m pregnant. I wonder who did it.”

Cramps suck and tampons are expensive—so it’s easy to forget that menstruation is actually magical! Recent research indicates that menstrual blood contains cells that could be key in treating peripheral artery disease—which causes 150,000 amputations a year in the US. The ‘endometrial regenerative cells’ found in menstrual have proven capable of restoring blood flow in mice with blocked circulation. Chew on that the next time you down some Midol. [Science Daily]

Ann Summers, A UK woman who stole £150 worth of vibrators from a sex shop,  was sentenced to community service and a drug rehab program for her misdeeds.

That’s $278.97 worth of good vibrations to you.

Yesterday in Union Square, hundreds people with iPods in hand gathered to participate in a silent rave. Event planner Jonnie Wesson, 18, told ABC News, “At a completely random time, thousands of people who have heard about [the event] would all meet up in a public place. Everyone turns out and [puts on their] head phones and has a good time.”

Along with the hundreds, I was there rockin’ out to the Legally Blonde musical soundtrack (don’t judge).

Playgirl insider tip: Silent raves are a great way to break the ice if you see someone cute in the crowd. Just ask, “Hey, what are you listening to?” Works every time! I got 6 numbers!

You’re at the bar, sipping a delicious mug o’ (whiskey/vodka/PBR/Bud), when some d-bag descends on you with a totally crappy come-on. As you alternate between ignoring him and throwing up in your mouth, try a few of these zingers on for size, courtesy of www.buzzle.com.

Man: “Haven’t we met before?”
Woman: “Perhaps. I’m the receptionist at the VD Clinic.”

Man: “Haven’t I seen you someplace before?
Woman: “Yeah, that’s why I don’t go there anymore.”

Man: “Is this seat empty?”
Woman: “Yes, and this one will be too if you sit down.”

“Two women had gone for a girl’s night out. Both were very faithful and loving wives, but they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers. Incredibly drunk and walking home, they needed to pee; so they stopped in the cemetery. One of them had nothing to wipe with, so she thought she would take off her panties and use them. Her friend, however, was wearing a rather expensive pair of panties and didn’t want to ruin them. She was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she proceeded to wipe with that.
“After the girls did their business, they went home. The next day one of the women’s husbands was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said, ‘These girl nights out have got to stop! I’m starting to suspect the worst. My wife came home with no panties!’

“‘That’s nothing,’ said the other husband, ‘Mine came back with a card stuck to her ass that said, “From all of us at the fire station. We’ll never forget you!”‘’

We periodically field e-mails from eager readers anxious to impart their Internet findings: random news clips, celeb gossip, and the latest product coming down the adult-entertainment pike. This one was so great we had to share.

How friggin’ cute is this shirt, Playgirls? It says to the onlookers, “I’m nutty for polka-dots, but I can never shaft prints.” Plus it makes you feel good knowing you’re ballsy enough to wear a multi-colored penis on your chest.

It’s probably a really big hit at bachelorette parties since it’s called the ‘”Bachelorette Penis Applique Shirt“. Get yours at Etsy.com for $30.

I know you. You’re that guy. You go to a film, then quote every line afterward because it was extremely funny. You’re pretty annoying. Oh wait, you saw Pineapple Express? You’re right, the part where Saul (James Franco) says, “Fuck Jeff Goldblum” is pretty damn funny. You’ve been let off with a warning.

Let’s all give Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg, and Judd Apatow a big round of applause. They create a film with enough weed colloquialisms and obscure humor to take down a hippo. According to the Phoenixville News, the film brought in $22.4 million over the past weekend and $40.4 million since last Wednesday’s opening.

The next time you get the urge to say a line from a movie let it be Pineapple Express. My favorite is when Dale (Seth Rogan) says, “It smells like God’s vagina.”

Those of you still frequenting stops along the American highway featuring saturated fats, dirty meat, infected foods and sketchy working conditions, here is yet another tidbit to make you take heed. And yes, Playgirls, nudity is involved.

An employee at a Greene County, Ohio, Burger King stripped down to his skivvies for a bubbly bath in the franchise’s sink, NBC’s WDTN.com news branch reported this morning.

The evidence, a four-minute video posted on MySpace, featured Mr. Unstable (as he so-called himself), buck-naked in a “large, stainless-steel sink as several other employees and a store manager looked on.” Once the clip ended up in the hands of Greene County’s health commissioner, Mark McDonnell, the proverbial fur began to fly.

“My first thought was oh my god,” McDonnell said. One health-code inspection, ditching of all kitchen utensils, two sink sanitations, and a unilateral employee-cleansing later, McDonnell said: “You can’t account for everyone’s stupid actions but when things do happen if you respond to it and take the appropriate action that’s reassuring.” Oh yeah. Who’s up for some BK veggie burgers?
