Kyle McCabe, a sophomore at the College of New Jersey in Ewing Township, has become a condom-toting superhero on campus, on call to deliver protection to students 24 hours a day, seven days a week. [...] “Some friends and I have all run into a similar problem,” McCabe, 19, said of being caught in the heat of the moment without protection. ”I just sort of would rather people call me instead of going through with any sort of sexual encounters unprotected.”

She is asking Hasboro — maker of the Easy Bake Oven — to start putting boys in their commercials, so that her little brother sees it’s okay for boys to cook: [B]oys are not featured in packaging or promotional materials for Easy Bake Ovens — this toy my brother’s always dreamed about.
