High-school students mock "controversial" condom-use video.

"It was so boring," Christina Tarpley, now a 16-year-old junior at the Germantown school, said of the "Protect Yourself" video, which includes a discussion of sexually transmitted diseases, different forms of contraception and a demonstration of the proper way to put on a condom.

"I didn't see what the big deal about the demonstration was about," said classmate Walter Hood. "It wasn't that serious. It was stuff everybody knew about."

Meanwhile, their parents are still having apoplectic fits at the fact that teenagers know what S-E-X is.

Their kids are 16 for gods' sakes. I knew that stuff when I was 10.

Wait a minute.

This is happening in the school system I went to school in. We had our first sex ed class in fifth grade. WTF, over? Why are they suddenly making a stink now?

They're making a stink over the "controversial" new film that shows how to put a condom on a cucumber.

Presumably so your parents won't know what you've been up to by the smell, I don't know.

Hell, in 10th grade we got to do that for real, only it was a banana.

Then again, I went to school with this girl whose mother was totally dead set against sex ed, and didn't even want her daughter going on the eighth grade class trip because the boys and the girls would be staying in the same hotel.

This woman also taught my Sunday School class. She's probably the main reason I left Catholicism.
