Condom + Yarn = African Soccer

African children have been fashioning soccer balls from condoms since condoms became widely distributed by large health education campaigns promoting AIDS awareness.  But it is the anticipation of the hype related to the 2010 South African World Cup that inspired this elegant short to be produced. 

They bounce a bit too much, and they do explode...which is to be expected when one wraps yards and yards of yarn around rubber.

But truly, this is African ingenuity at its best.
