I just saw an ad on Sky Three promoting the concept that using condoms is cool. Four young lads are walking through the park to have a game of footie. Boy A asks Boy B if Boy B could give him back the condom he loaned him. Boy B says no, he's used it. Intercut with this is footage of two girls clearing up after a party, one of whom looks particularly smug and happy.
Which is all fine. Would all be fine. If only the girls hadn't been really hot, and Boy B hadn't been a complete minger. My lingering response is not 'Oh, condoms are cool!” (and yes, I realise I'm not the target demographic), but 'Ewwwwwwwwwwww'.
