Trojan Gives A Whole New Meaning To 'Viral' Video

| 1 Comment | 0 TrackBacks

There's definitely something in the air this Valentine's Day, and it's not just love. With the White House fighting to pass the massive economic stimulus bill, critics have been busy digging up the "bumper-sticker negatives" -- and at the top of most lists is the $335 million allocated for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention programs. With all the news coverage, it seems STDs have reentered the forefront of the media zeitgeist and the national dialogue, at least for the moment.

And with Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, Trojan Condoms has thrown itself right into the cultural intersection with this hilarious spot called "The Gifts," which is currently making the viral rounds online. Best line: "Gonorrhea? Aww, you shouldn't have!"

But for those unfortunate people who don't get the message on time, or the stimulus-funded education, there's always the anonymous, STD-warning e-card.

Came here here trying to find something totally else, but ended up to be a good read anyway, so I guess sometimes it's ok that you can't use a search engine properly.
