Have you checked out snoopy.com?

It's google or nothing else for me!

I sort of forgot other search engines exist. This is why Google will be so dangerous in the future.

Other random thought of the moment:

"Adult" product companies have the strangest marketing execs ever, I am convinced.

Firstly, the name "Trojan" for a condom manufacturer is insanely funny, considering the reference most people draw when confronted with that term is to the infamous "Trojan" horse. That is just a funny image to sell condoms under.

Also, they all have stupid advertisements.

The one on TV most recently for Trojan starts off saying something like "Millions of people die each year from HIV. Many don't tell their partners, because they don't know themselves," as if it were going to be a normal charitable donation cause or something, but then it just says "use a condom every time." Can you say, "huh?"

KY is another example of advertising gone bad. They have a new massage oil that "creates a gentle warming sensation on contact." As if that wasn't bad enough, they make a television commercial with music that sounds as if it was pulled from a Johnson & Johnson baby oil commercial, and use the stereotypical cheesy-grin people that always seem to accompany ads for "adult" products.

Let's not even get into things like Enzyte and Viagra. Well, actually... let's.

The Enzyte commercials are so ridiculously cheesy and stupid, it makes you wonder how they think they're going to convince anyone to buy their products through these advertisements. Who is going to say, "Oh, yeah, I have ED, a medical condition... I think I'm going to treat it with a product sold by people who can't even take their marketing seriously," anyway?

Craziness, I tell you. Craziness.

It's like they know that their products are sort of "taboo" still, so they feel they have to "crack the ice" before trying to sell them to anybody. The results of such advertisement attempts are often hilarious, I think.

Oh well... I've grown too observant of advertisements as a result of my business classes, I think.

In His love,

Haha, that is true.

You would think that a product designed to prevent the intrusion of *ahem* something into something else would have a less suspicious name. Trojan seems like a huge warning label to me.

I wasn't expecting any comments like that... at least, not until Lee visited my blog again.

I'd like to see "Jericho" condoms or "Titanic" condoms. I think those would be equally amusing.

As an aside, I feel weird talking about something that I have never used and will likely never use, even when I eventually have the actual occasion to possibly use. EDIT: Actually, I just feel weird talking about condoms.

Oh well.

[nix]

Haha!!! I'm full of surprises! I actually have no problem talk like that, I do often if I feel the person I'm talking to will feel confortable with it.

As for never using condoms.. I didn't want to either! Hated the idea!! But alas, if your woman is on the pill and using antibiotics and you are both wanting some action... well... condoms are the next best option Unless you want a zillion of kids

Haha, yeah. Naming a condom after disasters must be a selling point. Maybe Hindenburg Condoms would sell.

And don't feel weird... I knew alot about stuff like that before marriage.... I believed in learning about it before the deed.

Just tell me when to stop

I wouldn't mind a zillion kids. I doubt my girlfriend and I will use any form of birth control at all when we get married.

Anything named after a dirigible would sell. Although a condom-shaped dirigible would be one more terrible marketing idea that such a company could, and most likely would, employ.

Then condoms will be BANNED from your house
