WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Stichting Soa-Bestrijding, Rubber

Members:

Two guys are camping out under a tent, naked, in this commercial for a Dutch health organization. As it rains heavily outside, one peeks out to see that the toilet is far away in the heavy downpour and starts to rummage through his bag.

A crack of thunder wakes his sleeping tent mate, who sees his friend (with his back toward him) unrolling a condom and he smiles as he thinks they're about to have sex. Except, as his mate turns, with a flashlight in his mouth, he reveals that he's just filled the condom with urine out of desperation!

The text reads, "Always handy to have a condom...or rather two." The ending says, "I have safe sex or no sex."

The blond one is really cute. He reminds me of my ex...with a smile like that he could sell refrigerators to Eskimos. Pleasantly stimulating and positive. Great commercial.

What brand of condom is that? Talk about heavy duty!

It's is a bit funny to see that this ad is themed as 'Truly Outrageous.' It aired here in the Netherlands during prime time (after 20:00h) as a 'Postbus 51' commercial, meaning it is an 'information ad' funded by the government. Notice the ending: 'Informatie van de Rijksoverheid', meaning 'Information from the public authorities' :)

Actually, note the beginning of the ad: the guy looks outside at the sign that says "toilet", and sees that it's raining. Note the urine-filled condom at the end... I hope the guy isn't going to put it on his head!
