condom ads.

My thoughts when I first saw this spot:

- Where did they find all those black extras....this is so unrealistic. (then I figured out that Trust condoms are only for and from Kenya- which simultaneously explains all the black people and the lack of sean john and ecko gear.)
- Illllll, he pulled the condom out of the wrapping on national tv. I dont know about you, but Ive only experienced condoms unwrapped in intimate indoor settings- well scratch that indoor part.But If I saw one being pulled out on the street by a stranger...I would literally start running away. (then I figured out that Trust condoms are for and from Kenya- its probably a good thing to show Africans the look, feel and use of condoms.)
- The sound track sounds like a unsuccessful wannabe boy band. (then I figured out that Trust condoms are for and from Kenya- so I was probably dead on about my assumption.) 


You know after the first viewing that Americans dont have the guts to make stuff like this. But here are some others. Enjoy. 

For the Ladies: Or guys judging by the music.
Water Condoms: B*tch keeps dropping sh*t in the ocean.
