We’re a little confused about Trojan’s position in the social networking space. While encouraging sexually active users to “Evolve” from pig to man via MySpace, the Facebook flyer for Trojan’s Magnum series appears to be encouraging us to poke each other to a frenzy.
Maybe they thought dudes with bigger schlongs just don’t read Orwell.
To be fair though, the innuendo behind Facebook’s “pokes” is a little hard to resist. We can’t even count how many users have made us feel uncomfortable with their incessant poking.
If we reciprocate, will they think we’re whores?
UPDATE, 10-5-07: A contact at Edelman says the ad isn’t Trojan’s but (possibly) an online condom vendor’s. Well, baby, free promotion never does hurt. Unless you happen to be running a campaign specifically aimed at discouraging porky poking practices.
