Washington Monument Sports A Condom. Just Wait. It’ll Happen

Just when you think every last bit of space has been commandeered by ads, another pops up. We know someday someone’s going to offer to paint our house for free in exchange for placing a giant logo on the front of our house. And Kevin Dugan, in an article on his blog posits we may soon see the Washington Monument sheathed in a Durex condom, ads embedded in one’s bodies so they appear on x-rays, ads painted in the bowl of a toilet (this one’s a no brainer), ads on baby scales and ads on headstones in graveyards.

Think it won’t happen? Did you ever think you’d see ads on the paper that covers the exam table in a doctor’s office or on the front of snow plows?
