I always liked the Ramones, but never more so than I did when I read that Marky Ramone was putting out a safe sex kit. It's nothing more than a decorated tin with two condoms, some lubricant, and an STD resource card, but maybe coming from a rock star will make using it cool. People do all sorts of crazy things at the suggestion of their rock idols, maybe this time they'll do something smart.
