Miss Universe Condom Contest Irks Some

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch did not walk away with the Miss Universe crown last week in the Bahamas (she took fourth place), but her condom stunt has raised some criticism and awareness.

Finch took part in the 'Condom Olympics,' a Miss Universe event, approved by Donald Trump, that was held to raise AIDS and HIV awareness. The pageant teamed up with AIDS prevention group Population Services International (PSI) for the event.

In the "Condom Olympics" pageant contestants participated in games such as testing the condom limits by blowing them up until they burst, filling them with water and learning how to conduct condom demonstrations correctly. Finch inflated a condom with her breath until it burst ( TMZ posted video of the event ) and won the challenge. But some questioned whether the event raised any awareness, and questioned why abstinence was not highlighted.

"These 'Condom Olympics' seem quite counterproductive to raising awareness of the seriousness of HIV," said Alyssa Cardova, from the Claire Booth Luce Policy Institute, a conservative women’s organization, to CNSNews .
