Family Planning and Mr. Condom

Thailand chose to take an interesting approach to promoting family planning and condom use.
The campaign saturated Thailand with condoms... everywhere! This included distributing contraceptives in floating markets, at traffic stops, at temples, at food stalls next to Coca Cola, at coffee shops and at schools. As Mechai Viravaidya says, condoms can be used as 'weapons of mass protection!' The video uses satire about US foreign policy to make a critical argument for the importance of support for family planning and contraceptive education.
