Official announcement.
The House and Senate today announced that they are changing America's National Emblem from the Bald Eagle to the condom.

Joe Lieberman explained, "The condom more accurately reflects our mission, as it allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security when you are actually getting screwed".


'nuff said.

5. I thought that Americans are not allowed to use condoms
after all, this is a "Christian nation."

Wasn't condom using a felony in some states not that long ago?

9. Spread it around.
It wasn't original, just parts of a conversation a while back.

10. The only breed of condom worthy of national emblem status
Is my state's own beloved Coney Island Whitefish!

12. I always wondered why anyone thought "Trojan" was a good brand name for a condom.
I mean, weren't the Trojans, like, totally defeated? Wasn't Troy, like, totally overrun by the Greeks? I mean, why would you want a TROJAN to protect you? Ya know?

15. On a serious note, regarding the Eagle...
I have to wonder just what America would be like now if they had chosen the turkey instead (which they almost did.) The eagle is such a vicious, bloody, warlike symbol as birds go.
