The Madhya Pradesh government has banned the sale of Crezendo condom in the state saying it’s against Indian culture.<\/p>\n

Public Works Minister in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh Kailash Vijayvargiya has taken up cudgels against Hindustan Latex Ltd’s condom on behalf of the government.<\/p>\n

Vijayvargiya says the condom is a sex toy and will not be allowed to be sold in the state.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’d argue that the penis is a sex toy and should be banned from Madhya Pradesh as well. And I’m also most curious to know what a public works minister is doing commenting on this matter. What<\/i> public works? <\/p>\n

CNN-IBN’s TV news report on this is also hilarious—I love the back-and-forth between the anchor and the reporter, and I’d take their tone as mock seriousness if they weren’t always like this. The vox pops are immense fun too. These reporters are going to put satirists out of work. Watch:<\/p>\n
