"As happy as paper plates may make them, this is going to make them happier."

Credit James Taranto at OpinionJournal.com for locating this NY Times excerpt:

The Today Sponge contraceptive is returning to the market, the New York Times reports. Businessman Gene Detroyer, who used to make disposable plates and cups, has bought the right to market the birth-control device, which is “more convenient than a condom, less invasive than an I.U.D.”

“This is going to make millions of women very happy,” Detroyer tells the Times. “As happy as paper plates may make them, this is going to make them happier.”

uh huh.
not doing the washing up pales in comparison to having to give birth.

paper plates???
WTF?
i can think of lots of things that make me happier than disposable flatware…

The sponge scares me.

It doesn’t scare me - I’m pretty happy that it’s back.
Now I just need to find someone to have sex with once I’ve got some and I’ll be a really happy camper.

Lsura, give him the spongeworthy interview.

I guess that’s good news. Don’t forget that the sponge doesn’t protect against STDs, though. So…um…be careful.

(I can’t believe that was my 100th post. :smack: )

Huh. I read the guy’s name as Gene Destroyer.

Have they been improved to make them more reliable? Long fingernails+birth control sponge=a now-15-year-old daughter.:eek:

I don’t mean to imply that I’m sorry I had her, but I might have been sorry had my circumstances been worse than they were, you know? As it was, I was 25, her father felt like sticking around and supporting us, and all turned out well. But that was more luck than anything.
