Because purchasing that pack of extra-ribbed, glow-in-the dark, strawberry-scented condoms can be an awkward, paranoia-filled experience, it makes perfect sense that condom advertisements would be equally as strange.
Spike breaks down the top 10 strangest condom ads around the world. Here are three of my favourites:
Scare Tactics
Unprotected sex can have deadly consequences and Argentinean condom maker Tulipan presses that point their “Be Careful” campaign depicting gratuitous skeleton sex.
Bollywood Condom Movie
In India, condom ads are delivered in such a way to have mass effect – by song-and-dance! In this epic 7-minute commercial, four grown men dressed up in coloured condom suits traipse across the lands with their troop of backup dancers, singing and dancing about the “ever useful friend to you”.
Bunny in a Jar
From Spain comes an ad for Control Adapta condoms. From the look of it, these condoms come with so much lube one could possibly use the excess to stuff a bunny in a jar.
