Today at Renegade, we could not get off the subject of reproductive, rather anti-reproductive devices.
First, I brought in the limited edition Palin Condom I got at the 140 Characters Conference in March. You may have seen the Obama “Use with Good Judgement” and McCain “Old But Not Expired” condoms on CNN or being sold in Times Square by the fine fellows at Practice Safe Policy. Mine is better, tho.
See? You can get it here.
Then, another Renegade tweeted out a link to a case study for a fictional iPhone app submitted to the Cannes Future Lions 2010 Competition. Using this app, one can knock up their iPhone by mating it with another. Then a simulated baby is created that needs to be coddled, fed, you know – everything a baby needs. To be saved from the embarrassment of a screaming phone baby in public, the young target must purchase a pack of Durex condoms and scan a QR code to get the Anti-Knockup Application that keeps the womb in their phone barren. We all think it’s brilliant. I hope you do, too.

All that blathered, with this post I am inaugerating a new category for the Saw a Good Idea blog: condom promos. Once we started talking about their use in advertising (even Renegade has put ads on condoms!), we realized this may be a fun category to acknowledge. I hope you love it. On Monday, I may have second thoughts about the new category and just make this series of posts. We’ll see…
Next up? The Flojuggler.
