Stop Chafing, Global Warming

Steve Nash and Alonzo Mourning are among several athletes pushing a new brand of anti-chafing lube.

Really.

Mission brand anti-friction cream, according to the Mission website:

Regardless of sport or level, every athlete has to endure irritation stemming from skin-to-skin or clothing-to-skin friction at some time. Knowing that petroleum jellies and band-aids are nothing more than quick fixes, just as likely to irritate already sensitive skin, our team of professional athletes and scientists developed Anti-Friction Cream.

A little anti-friction goes a long way -- ounce for ounce, the concentrated formula lasts five times longer than traditional lubricants. Which means you can push yourself as far as you can go, and then some.

So, what does this have to do with global warming?

Are we to cool the planet one chafed groin at a time?

Not exactly. This is part of a bigger line of Mission skincare products (Nash is said to be especially fond of the foot synergy gel), from which a portion of the proceeds reportedly go to various charities, including Nash's charity, Mourning's charity, and StopGlobalWarming.org.
