Sex with pigs isn’t suitable for television

By Phineas G. in Adverts

Well, its suitable, but only in certain parts of the country and only on certain networks.

Controversy over a new advertising campaign by Trojan, the condom maker, has trickled down to the local level, with television stations in Pittsburgh roundly refusing to show it, and stations in Seattle giving it the green light.

When Trojan introduced the condom commercial last month, it was rejected as national advertising by both CBS and Fox. Fox said it objected to the message that condoms can prevent pregnancy, while CBS said it was not “appropriate,” drawing a firestorm of criticism from public health advocates and bloggers…

…In the commercial, women in a bar are find themselves sitting next to pigs, one of which metamorphoses into a handsome suitor after it procures a condom from a vending machine. The tag line: “Evolve. Use a condom every time.”

Maybe that’s were I went wrong all those times in college, I should have just whipped it, the Trojan condom, out and showed the ladies I’m a handsome gentleman.

trojanevolve.com (may be NSFW) has received over 400,000 hits since the ads began running last month.

Now this, I don’t get. Do chicks buy all the rubbers these days or do guys actually buy products (Hardees thickburgers, car insurance, etc.) that portray them as braindead or barnyard animals?

Why not have the guy sitting next to the hot chick at the bar but when he rolls over in bed the next morning he finds that she’s the one with the curly tail and hog’s breath?

He looks at the nightstand to see the broken rubber package. *Pfew*

Does that Axe body spray cover-up the scent of Sizzlean and hot garbage?

So, the message of this ad is that a man is a pig until he provides some sort of way to keep from inseminating the female? The only suitable men are the ones who purchase prophylactics from vending machines in bars? Honest, what am I subposed to get from this?

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as evil as they come (hush), but I figure no amount of plastic betwixt me and m’lady is going to classy me up, considering I’m trying to hook up at a bar. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I consider any one night stand as being grounds for a TV movie about some child trying to find her long-lost father. I am man, hear me oink.

On a completely different note, I love how one of them related posts for this pig-condom ad goes to The Elusive Keira Knightley. I’m not sure what that means.
