From their FAQ:

Will the winner get a prize?

No, the only reward in this contest is a chance to promote health and see your work in wide circulation. All entries become property of the Health Department. Besides appearing on condom packages, the winning design may be used in social marketing campaigns stressing the importance of safer sex.

Hm. A purely socialist project for humanitarian reasons, huh? Just like they banned smoking everywhere except the cigar bar at the Midtown Sheraton where Bloomberg hangs out? Ah. And I see you have to be a current NYC resident to enter this esteemed contest for the nonexistent prize. Why?

Here's my design:

[silverx2]

josh smoking is a large cause of health problems.

As someone thats been on here previously complaining about health care problems, please allow me to say STFU about socialisim and smoking being banned.

[joshstrike]

Huh? You think just because I believe in access to healthcare means I want to see a nanny state that bans everything bad for you?
Whatever man. I no longer grace nyc with my presence and bloomberg's hypocritical smoking ban and nosy socialist policies are a big part of the reason.

if you don't like smoke, don't go to smoky bars. I don't give a f*ck anymore about people who don't want to breathe my cigarette smoke. I've spent too much time outside in the cold because they banned it everywhere.

Glad you liked my design.

"boohoo i cant get healthcare, but i sure would love to get smokers lung, and cancer, and give everyone around me cancer"

you cant have your cake and eat it too. want to be unhealthy and do something that WILL kill you, dont complain about healthcare.

[joshstrike]

You know what? Not only do I pay for a private insurance plan, I also pay more in cigarette taxes than most people spend on their healthcare when I'm living in California.

Your attitude about this is only significant because you represent an ugly and immoral group of people who think they have the right to dictate what is in other peoples' "best interests" and/or to dehumanize or deny equal rights to people whose lifestyle choices they disagree with. Maybe I should have said, "I don't like using a condom". Then you could take the high horse and tell me, "You'll get AIDS and die; boo hoo". Or I should have said, I like In'n'out burgers. You puritanical socialist people of the people can tell me I'll get fat and don't deserve to have heath insurance. You know what? The more you claim to be perfect, the less claim you have on being a normal person with a right to speak for the majority.

Basically what I'm saying is, you can judge other peoples' actions all you want, but the more you do so, the more you betray your own sniveling sense of inferiority. You lie to yourself and say that you're acting in other peoples' best interests by telling them how they should behave, but I know and you know that you're only trying to prove you're somehow better than everyone else when you stick your nose into other peoples' business and tell someone not to smoke or what to eat or how to f*ck. So up yours, buddy. You can live to be a hundred and three, but you'll still be an a*hole.

zing.

[gerbick]

How many times in a year do you see "puritanical socialist" used correctly in a sentence? Seriously?

[joshstrike]

Can we get back to the fact that the bronx and manhattan are shaped like a cack'n'balls?
