Newsflash! ‘Naked’ Woman on Chatroulette! Must Be an Ad. Yawn.

Oh, Chatroulette, how we used to love you so. Back in the day before anyone had heard of you. Back before people could pleasure themselves in peace before everyone found out that’s all anyone does on Chatroulette. And back before every brand in the world decided Chatroulette is the new Second Life.

Here we have Amsterdam-based condom shop Condomerie using a “topless” hottie holding a sign which, at first, lets the viewer think they’ve struck masturbatory gold. Then the young lady holds the sign up and the viewer is presented with, “You are now in touch with a HIV infected person. Don’t play Russian roulette in real life.” Way to bring a guy down.

Of course this is completely stupid and the targeting is idiotic. First of all, no one needs a condom to masturbate. And, second, no matter how prolific a person’s Chatroulette orgasm may be, there will never be an exchange of bodily fluids and, hence, no chance of becoming infected with HIV.

Can we move on from Chatroulette now?
