Condom Advertisements Never Cease to Shock

What is more uncomfortable and outrageous than a condom advertisement? There is no way to beat around the bush with this product. It is purely for sex. It is, in a sense, a taboo in our society. However, I thought this ad made a classy attempt to sell its product – I mean, as classy as a condom advertisement can be . . .

TOn the condom box, in the right, bottom corner, it says "Hansaplast Long Pleasure Condom." Obviously, this is a very suggestive picture.  However, it certainly makes its point. This ad shows that this condom is so amazing that it can make you last for "hours," since the woman must have been laying on the beach and received a beautiful tan from her sexual escapades. By using a bronzed, beautiful model, this ad suggests that if you use its product, you too could be as "pleased" and beautiful as her.
