Hey, Look. Condom Ads with Sex in Them.

lifestyle-condoms.jpg

Gratuitous raunch, black humour, etc. all appear in these ads for LifeStyles’ SKYN line, which trips all over itself in an anxious commitment to “change safe sex forever.”

All we got out of this was lag and choppiness, with the occasional softporn moment for good measure. There are punchlines at the end that we didn’t entirely understand, due to said lag and choppiness and general being-distracted-by-shinier-shit.

Don’t blame our connection; the site just has a lot going on. (Really though, do the TV spots have to rotate? Being merched shouldn’t feel like Duck Hunt.)

Work by AMP Agency/Boston. Pressie reads, “New Campaign Adds Sensuality to Condom Advertising.” As if that’s innovative. Or something.
