New York Fisherman Using Used Condoms to Catch Crabs

Yum!

Reading that headline you might say, "I hadn't really thought of it like that before, but I'm sure that is a great way to get crabs." Thing is, we're not referring to Pthirus pubis, we're talking about the decapod crustaceans found at Red Lobster, etc. It seems that some New York fishermen, insufficiently disgusted by simply fishing in Newtown Creek (the body of water that separates Queens and Brooklyn at the East River, which, we should point out, is a superfund site), have taken to using "repurposed" condoms as bobbers while angling for crabs. Well, at least they wash 'em before they eat 'em. Yikes! [via NewYorkShitty]
