New York – Although still available online, a judge in New York has put an end to the sales of condoms adorned with images of either Sarah Palin or President Obama sold by two street vendors in New York — the men have been condemned to a day of community service. Two unlicensed street vendors have been told to stop selling Barack Obama and Sarah Palin condoms in the streets of New York. While the men claimed that their products contained political messages, which should exempt the vendors from needing an appropriate license, the judge saw things differently and ruled that selling condoms was pure business. The men got off with a slap on the wrist, though, because they were sentenced to merely one day of community service — very little considering they had been selling the goofy condoms for about two years. The story has been reported in the New York Daily News, yet it is Politico who supplies us with the information that the condoms are still available online, at this dedicated website. The Palin version features a photograph of the ex Alaska governor in front of a caribou, beneath the slogan “When abortion is not an option,” while the Obama package shows a portrait of the president with the text “ultimate stimulus package”, yet also warning that “hope is not a form of protection.” I don't see how this is illegal, they are both political figures. added by: toyotabedzrock
