Boise Condom Shop Coupon Gets Censored

September 02, 2008 04:32 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

A coupon for a Boise State condom shop has been manually ripped out of 15,000 coupon books that are being distributed around campus, the Arbiter writes. The publisher removed the coupons after the campus bookstore, one of its main distributors, threatened to stop passing out the booklets because it had received complaints from parents, students, and faculty. The publisher hired two temp workers (poor souls) to tear out all those pages over the course of three days.

The "stunned" shop owner says the same coupon has appeared in the booklet for years, and this is the first time any controversy has arisen.
