If you live in the Greater Indianapolis area and need a unique gift for a special lady in your life, look no further. You can now purchase gift certificates for Planned Parenthood. Yes, I said Planned Parenthood. Apparently a good papsmear goes for about $60 these days, so if there's someone you think could use a good swabbing, there you go.
Now, I'm not sure quite how I feel about this. On one hand, it's definitely practical, and if someone has put off their yearly girl-doctor trip because of the cost, then it's thoughtful and far more healthy than, say, a copy of the new Beyonce album. On the other hand, it just seems uber-bizarre to gather 'round the tree and give someone the gift of a pap, birth control, or std testing. "Merry Christmas! Here's to another Herpes-free year! Fingers crossed!"
Truly, the gift that keeps on, um, giving. Happy Friday y'all.
