How Did All of NYC’s Proposed Condom Designs Wind Up Referring to Dudes Pounding Each Other?

« Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6
 

Virgil Anderson’s Manhole: Virgil has undoubtedly come up with the gayest design for a condom wrapper ever. Why else would you put on your rubbers before descending into a manhole? There’s nothing even remotely feminine about it. But that makes sense seeing as one can hardly step onto a New York street without getting embroiled into a gay orgy. And you can’t walk very far without seeing a wide-open manhole with steam rising out of it (or exploding). Or a manhole with several guys crawling into it. Looks like you better grab more than just one of these babies.

      This is all Obama’s fault.

      I voted for the top hat. The others were too dirty, either figuratively or literally. LOL

      @romeo: I kind of like the Top Hat too! I don’t get the brown/orange Mac ‘ON’ icon though.

      i dig ‘em all. very creative.

      i voted for the many colored condoms. I like the feel of it. the subway one was a little much. The manhole looks cool but the double meaning again too much. the top hat does have a nice elegance to it but i don’t gravitate towards it. The on button, well, i must admit, I didn’t get it. But once explained to me, that would be my 2nd choice. More current. Nice colors. and the 2nd meaning is subtle.

      I thought about the colored condom one too, but something about it sort of looks like a disease chart.

      I like the inspired top hat. I picture a gay dandy in 1923 with a silk red scarf sizing up sailors.

      Am I missing something? With the exception of the manhole design, how are they “referring to dudes pounding each other”?

      How about a Vlassic Pickle as a symbol for the use of a condom.

      Always crisp, juicy and crunchy.

      I like the grittiness of the manhole cover. Reminds me of the Saw franchise. And Leigh Whannell, the producer and co-star of the first (and only good) one, is a hottie.
