The Thai restaurant Cabbages and Condoms, known for their commitment to promote HIV awareness, is using Santa Claus to bring home the ‘protected sex’ message this holiday season.
Situated at the entrance is a life-sized Santa Claus--although this Santa is not sporting the usual red and white fur-trimmed suit. Instead he is "dressed all in condoms, from his head to his foot," and his beard is not "white as snow."
So it only stands to reason that if this Santa could talk, as the visitors leave the restaurant, he would be exclaiming, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a safe-sex night!"
