Apparently, my ex finds this really funny.

(I almost felt the need to point out on his Facebook wall that he has absolutely no need for this product...)

YANBU but if they can make a buck by appealing to the lowest common denominator they will. It more than likely came about in a convoluted way because of things that definitely would never het away with showing.

But it is offensive and if they have to be trained to think then that will happen by costly ad campaigns being banned and revenue being lost.

In my honest opinion - I saw the joke and had the minutest of snarfs but a seconds thought makes it clear this isn't on. As to the violence in porn...and hentai is worse because it seems people think the yhave more freedom because 'it's not real' -clueless-. Could be worse and it would be an even worse indictment if it weren't challenged at all.

The reviews here are quite amusing:

www.undercovercondoms.com/readuserreview.asp?ID=190

"I never could find a condom to fit over my unusually large 16 inch penis and with a girth of 8 inches, most condoms are too tight, cutting off my circulation, my girlfriend kathy just loves the feel, well we're both in ecstacy, Im in line with the other guys on this, Durex xxxl are greaaat"

"They are the only ones i have found that fit at all and only break if i go too fast. i am 13 3/4" in length and VERY wide (8" around in middle but +9" around at the base) so it still doesn't cover all of it, but it doesn't matter since i haven't found a girl who wants to have my whole thing in her anyway and the widest part is lower than the condom will cover too.

Two reasons i don't give it 5 stars are that the reservoir at the tip needs to be bigger and the name needs to be different. its embarrassing for a 16yo guy like me to buy a condom named "XXL". but it's better than not having any condoms i guess."

"i am a hispanic man and finally i found the right size condom. thanks for your product being cater to the bigger size. i am 11 1/2 inches long and 8 inches wide. my girl friend is very pleased,i was always worried about breakage which happen all the time. thank you."

"I am a white male with a 23 inch penis, and 10 inches in diameter so this does not fit me. So I cut a hole in one and staple them together it works great. Before this I was using plastic shopping bags, thanks durex."

I find it bizarre we live in a society where companies can still use adverts like this. Mysoginistic crap.

ElectricSoftParade · 03/05/2012 03:38

Horrible, just horrible.

elinorbellowed · 03/05/2012 17:41

Perhaps not compulsory, but everyday, expected.

WTAF????? Anyone any good with photoshop? We need to mock up a response depicting a torn and bloody penis after a run in with a Vagina Dentata. Fuckers.

Badgerina · 03/05/2012 17:50

Also, how about an advert for Durex XXS? All you'd need was a woman's face. Laughing.

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2012 17:54

or with a magnifying glass
oh no, that will never do, it's so disrespectful

CupOfBrownJoy · 03/05/2012 17:57

Erm its not a real ad, so can all the posters being Horrified By Durex please calm down?

The company can hardly do much if someone makes a spoof ad using their name....

frownieface · 03/05/2012 18:05

This is a fake advert, it's not real.
