to really really hope this is not a real Durex advert?

I am surely NBU.

Look: twicsy.com/i/3cgmE

OMFG. Wrong on so many levels.

Surely surely it's a sick spoof, or a publicity stunt, or, or ... just not something that real people have thought would induce other real people to buy these condoms.

AIBU?

Yes, I think that it's a good message about the condom itself - and if it was a bewildered-looking post-coital couple wondering whether they had used one as they just had such amazing sex, then I'd like it much better. Although not sure how you could make that work as an advert - a lost condom doesn't have good connotations. Hmm.

I can imagine it on the telly though - it could look like and then again when they find, yes, the condom is still there safe and sound and full.

(Can you tell I don't work in advertising?!)

what is pleasant about wondering if your partner used a condom or not

surely if you were thinking this it would not be pleasant because it implies you were not aware of what was happening while your were having sex but apparently all is ok he was wearing a condom that is so thin that you can not tell he is wearing one

horrible advert

Urgh. Considering that there really are men who try and get out of using condoms (e.g. taking it off during sex and continuing even if they know the woman is not ok with condomless sex, because they know they can get away with it legally as courts would say she consented) even though they know it makes things risky for the woman, which IMO is a form of assault, I think that's pretty sick. Also what kind of thick woman is amused by the idea that she might have been exposed to pregnancy and STDs?

Stupid fucking woman. We as far as I can see, if she's got no idea whether he wore a condom of not it's her own tough shit if she gets pregnant or worse! Why didn't she check and make sure if it's that important to her? She clearly isn't that bothered, look at that stupid fucking gormless grin all over her face. Silly bint.

That is the problem with the advert.

dustbunnies - Best use of emoticons ever! Perhaps you could sell it to Durex for their future ads!

Ha ha! That would be a horrible advert!

Wibbly has it spot on. It's not funny because it's a real thing.

The best condom advert I've ever seen is the one where the man is in the supermarket with a child who is having the most massive tantrum ever, pulling things off the shelves etc. It just shows this unfolding and the man looking more and more harassed and then at the end "Use a condom."

No way is this ad real.

YANBU
You put the reasons why this is hideous perfectly.

Have any of you realised that she's not a real person? She's a model who has been paid to pull that face.

If someone is thick enough to not know a whether a condom has been used then that's their own problem, don't think this advert will make much difference.

< watches the point go whizzzzz right over LF's head >

Well said, Folkgirl. OP, YANBU.
