: Give away 130,000 condoms with sexy-sly, Utah-themed names. But the gimmick fell flat with Republican Gov. Gary Herbert.

The Health Department issued a statement apologizing for the “offensive packaging,” and “asked our partners to stop distributing them immediately.” The Utah Department of Health apologizes for the offensive packaging included on condoms distributed as part of an HIV campaign. The designs did not go through necessary approval channels and we have asked our partners to stop distributing them immediately. 1/2
