Utah Gov. Gary Herbert halted the distribution of 100,000 condoms that were part of an HIV-prevention effort due to racy messaging.
One condom cover, for example, spelled out"SL UT" by using two-letter abbreviations for the state of Utah and its capital, Salt Lake City. Another had a picture of a mountain and the slogan"Enjoy Your Mountin." Still another showed an image of a bed with the slogan,"This is the place."
Herbert's office said in a statement,"The governor understands the importance of the Utah Department of Health conducting a campaign to educate Utahns about"He does not, however, approve the use of sexual innuendo as part of a taxpayer-funded campaign, and our office has asked the department to rework the campaign's branding," the statement said.
