Amy Lockwood: Selling condoms in the Congo
Trki, Kody, Cheaty do
http://www.ted.com HIV is a serious problem in the DR Congo, and aid agencies have flooded the country with free and cheap condoms. But few people are using them. Why? "Reformed marketer" Amy Lockwood offers a surprising answer that upends a traditional model of philanthropy. (Some NSFW images.)

I looked over all the posts. I believe that that is a useful vid. My older brother wishes to become effective with the ladies. He figured out alot from Master Attraction. (Google it.) The guidance concerned with picking up chicks in nightclubs from Master Attraction got him his 1st sex in about a number of long yrs. I got irritated though seeing that I heard them all. Grrrr.

@lovena64 you also assume the women where you are talking about have the same day-to-day priorities, access to education and opportunity to even MAKE choices. The whole point of this talk was to not project your beliefs onto others.
-
off topic, but i absolutely love the print on the right dress at 3:47. good talk though!
-
funny that big brands aren't aware of their audience... they want to release an idea of safe sex, but their images deter ppl from using them. interesting.

@UltimateDimension Firstly I disagree that a condom is protective barrier that means you don't trust someone. It's protecting them against a disease they may not know they have. Secondly leading on from this point, if you love someone, sure you might want to have children with them, but that doesn't mean you should have them unplanned in your life, or as many children as you can produce. Finally even if this is what you believe, you can't educate everyone about these values
-
@WildBuck007 Clearly you live in America. Sorry, but you don't have a 1st world health care system, so I'm not surprised that the Congo has better treatment rates.
-
@electronikita Oh look, a jingoist idiot trolling about subjects you know nothing about. How about you sail out to central Africa and tell me about how they all just don't want to have a good life and that's their real problem? The people who truly hate the west are those who fail to acknowledge our failures as well as our successes.
-
@aniseshaw Oh look a West-hating hippie appears ( a wild one by the sound). How about you do us a favour and sail out to central Africa? Thanks love.

@MinotawrTV TBH, the reason I commented wasn't even the fact that it was offensive or wrong. It was more the fact that the lol christian are pedo's jokes are getting quite old, and It's starting to annoy me that on most video's I watch there is either a JB comment or a lolchristians comment. Sorry if this bothered you, Rereading my first comment I didn't choose my words wisely (was/am tired so cut me some slack). Anyway, have a nice day.
-
@MinotawrTV I find it quite ironic that when you say end of discussion we start to discuss xp (besides the point, but still.)
-
@MinotawrTV So because I think that humor doesn't give you a free ticket to offend I'm humorless ? Mkay.
-
@MinotawrTV Because obviously you can't find something both funny and offensive. Not only that, but anyone who dares to not laugh at your jokes, must be humorless. Wow, you're such a pro.
-
@MinotawrTV What discussion ? I asked you to question your use of free speech. That is all, there is no discussion here. Either you do or you don't, It's all up to you.
-
@MinotawrTV I'm a militant atheist but I must say, that is one ridiculous statement. What happened is that the church created the perfect conditions for pedophiles to prosper in, but refused to admit it (for obv reasons, which actually made it worse because that's part of the perfect conditions). I know it's a joke, but in my honest opinion you are just being offensive to be offensive. You have your right to free speech, but with this comment I'd like to use mine to *ask* you to use it wisely.
-
@MinotawrTV Alright fuck it all I'm saying is don't be a dick
-
@MinotawrTV oh sorry muffins
-
@MinotawrTV Of course but it's unsual for people to comment on TED videos, about let's say cancer, something like " Man, muffins are fucking delicious" which they are, just because cancer sits in the same contextual world as cancer.
