Pope Teaches African Kids How to Turn Condoms Into Balloon Animals

Lagos-During a recent visit to Nigeria, Pope Benedict XVI instructed kids between the ages of 6 and 16 on how to turn condoms into balloon animals.

The children spent hours in the sweltering heat, blowing up latex condoms with spermicide or lubrication into ducks, dogs and giraffes, and were grateful for the fun and engaging lesson.

“This was not as boring as an instructional video or the regular sex ed. classes Americans have to take,” 7-year old Niki Tiki Gha told reporters.

The pope also prayed for a respite from poverty and disease in Africa during his visit. He said that once the country became peaceful, they can focus on maintaining an adequate supply of condoms to keep children entertained with balloon animal creations.

“STD’s and unwanted pregnancies are just as much baloney as the Holocaust,” the Pope said. “So I would rather spend time teaching kids to have fun, just like Jesus Christ did before he was hung on the cross.”
