Trojan condoms advert

[KAZ]

Anyone else find this advert abit disturbing?

[andy hughes]

Yes I do. I am concerned for the number of parents who will have to explain to their children exactly why the lady has a look on her face as though she's been told to smile, whilst being shot in the back with a poison arrow! I know it's not easy to advertise condoms on TV, maybe that's a good enough reason not to try. Some media are just not suitable for some forms of advertising, and this certainly seems to be one example.

Yes, me too. I sincerely hope I am not a prude - well actually I know I'm not, but this is unnecessary. I have seen it just after 9pm, which is way too early, and I agree with andy hughes, this is just not the right medium for this sort of ad. And I reckon that any teenager (presumably the target audience) who is watching the tv with their parents in the room, will be absolutely mortified!

I do too - but I did laugh my ass off when I first saw it - its a little risque

When I first saw it I was waiting for the funny catch. You know, like she was really trying to get a smudge off the carpet, wearing a boob tube - and was kind of grossed out when it didn't come. Now I'm not a prude either, but the ad verges on hardcore!

Oh and my mum happened to be watching with me another time it came on and I swear, I did not know where to look!

Although not quite bus-pass age yet I can still remember learning about these little conveniences. I was nine during the summer holidays and it as some wisdom passed on by other boys I knew. I checked it out first with my sister (after all she did those sorts of things, didn't she!) before getting the real s.p. from my Dad. The little ones know more that you would think. Adults have such short memories!

It's fairly unpleasant, I think mainly because of the sound. I believe a better way of advertising condoms would be to show images of all our country's thirteen-year-olds pushing around the bleak-futured infants in stolen prams.
