Quirky Condoms

In my previous post I posted an ad on world aids day. Today we shall have some innocent fun.While going through all the serious issues of AIDS and HIV, I saw something which was really a good way of spreading the word of using condoms. There was a nice/funny article by Hemal Ashar on how condoms can be marketed. It sounds funny & I am sure you will have a great laugh. This is just a way to tackle a serious issue with a lighter air and in no way do I mean to make fun of anyone.

The article is named "Quirky Condoms"

World Aids Day (December 1) just went past us, in a blaze of hype and publicity. A doctor once said that in this age where gaining attention is important, even diseases have to be 'marketed' these days. Aids has done that better than most other ailments. So, with Aids and condoms taking up so much news space recently, here's a quirky look and some insane suggestions for condom manufacturers.

This columnist wonders why condom manufacturers do not make condoms like:

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) condom: I have certain wicket, wicked ways to bowl a maiden over.

The cabbies condom: In a combination pack of black and yellow.

The MNS condom: Can only be bought by the Marathi manoos.

The Mahendra Singh Dhoni condom: Hope to score tonight.

The Page 3 condom: I am a designer condom, dahling. Look for the label on the pack.

The gay condom: I cost much less than Rs 377. (Referring to section 377 of the Indian Penal Code that criminalised homosexuality.)

The Censor Board condom: No dirty talk, please or you will get an 'A' certificate from the board.

The Virar to Churchgate fast condom: I am always your first class choice.

The movie-goers condom: I am also available in a multiplex pack.

The climate change condom: So what is wrong with feelin' hot, hot, hot?

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) condom: Always in the mood for (Sen)sex

The Nike sports condom: Just Do It

The Bollywood condom: I star in sex scenes only because the script demands it.

The weight watchers condom: I am available in a new, slim pack.

The chess enthusiast's condom: Available in two colours black or white.

The Mumbai bus commuter condoms: I am the BEST.

The estate agents condom: Unlike Mumbai's real estate, I cost the same in both north and south Mumbai.

The Mumbai Heritage Society condom: Like our heritage buildings, you need protection too.

The Ambani condom: You can Rely(ance) on us.

The Raymonds condom: We make you the complete man.

The gym-obsessed condom: Special discount for a six-pack.

The Mumbai University condom: For bachelors and masters too.

The Mumbai lingo condom: In dhasu, fundoo and jhakaas packs.

With these taken care of here are a few of mine....

Sprite condom: Seedhi baat, no bakwaas

Peter England condom: Honestly Impressive
Wills Lifestyle condom: Enjoy the change
Accenture condom: High Perfomance
Delivered Apple condom: Think different
CEAT condom: Born tough
Deutsche Bank condom: Passion to perform
Intel condom: Intel inside (LOL!)
Max NewYork Life Insurance condom - Your Partner for life
KFC condom: Finger-Lickin' Good (Nasty!)
Maxwell House condom: Good to the last drop
BMW condom: Sheer driving pleasure
Mazda condom: Zoom Zoom Zoom
And some serious ironical ones
Camera world condom: For negative people
Essar corp condom - A positive a++itude
