  • He's Going To Be Hitler! Let's Use a Condom!



    Man, those Europeans have all the luck when it comes to advertisements, don't they? They have companies willing to say completely un-politic things because they're hilarious.

    I mentioned this previously when it comes to child modeling clay, but these ads are for condoms. The message is - Your child may be the next Hitler, please for god's sake use a condom.

    They also come in Osama Bin Laden and Mao flavors:


    Comes in packs of nine and eleven


    Make sure your boys don't make a Great Leap Forward
    or
    Make sure your gang of two doesn't become a Gang of Four (I had a lot of fun with this)


    This is some good comedy that I wish we could get in ads here in the US, but I can't help but wish that perhaps they went a little more zeitgeisty. Perhaps do the octomom. I mean if there's a walking advertisement for birth control, its her.

    But I can't blame em for going with the classics. I mean, dictators and terrorists never go out of style, so they'll continue to be relevant much longer.

    Still you'd think some condom company would have jumped on the octomom bandwagon by now. You'd get a ton of press and she needs the money. At least this way she'd actually earn it by being a living public service announcement.

    Who else should they have gone with? Would you like to see more risqué ads in America?
