Hey, remember that Gates Foundation grant that would award $100,000 to anyone doing significant work in the field of condom innovation? Well, they can shut that down right now, because they need to give ALL THE MONEY to Jörg Sprave of the Slingshot Channel. His condom applicator invention is — go figure — slingshot based, and it’s obviously the answer to giving condoms more universal appeal. As he explains, “nothing fascinates male human beings more than guns and sex.”

Sprave’s concept is simple: Load condom, insert penis, press trigger, and voila. The only areas that need development are aim, customer appeal, and not feeling like you’ve just been slingshotted in the junk. But with $100,000, we’re sure he could iron out the kinks. And if not, maybe he can just go back to developing the D.I.L.D.O. slingshot, whose projectiles he uses to demonstrate the condom gun.
