That little squirt!

We were a little dubious when we first heard about Ravi Narain's claim that his organic anti-bacterial product company, Citrofresh, had successfully created an invisible condom. The design was a "non-hazardous, non-toxic" post-intercourse spray "that dealt with emergency disease control and prevention for HIV, human influenza A virus, SARS and human rhinovirus."

It seems the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's was equally unimpressed. They chastised Citrofresh for false claims that they could "offer a global solution to reduce and eventually stop the spread" of HIV/AIDS. Mr Narain faces up to $400,000 in fines for misleading investors.

It was probably nothing more than Windex in a fancy bottle ... though considering the state of some men's crotches, maybe it's time for that lemon fresh scent!
