    Update: WYD condom-throwers could face jail

    I somewhat indecorously described this sort of thing earlier as something that "ticks me off."

    Looks like the aussies don't have much patience with this sort of thing either:

    Protesters planning to hand out condoms to Catholic pilgrims during Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Australia this month face arrest under special new police powers, critics said on Tuesday.

    Police and emergency service volunteers will be able to stop conduct that "causes annoyance or inconvenience to participants" in World Youth Day events expected to draw hundreds of thousands of young people to Sydney. (AFP)

    Update 2: More details from the Associated Press:
    New regulations give police and emergency services workers the power to order anyone to stop behavior that "causes annoyance or inconvenience to participants in a World Youth Day event," according to a New South Wales state government gazette. Anyone who does not comply faces a $5,300 fine.
