Here we have the year's least subtle condom ad, featuring lots of messy, Oozinator-like scenes of people being assaulted with what is hopefully vanilla frosting. The advertiser is Britain's One Pound Johnny Club, whose very name sounds dirty, though it's just a reference to its mail-order condom service, which costs as little as £1 per month. The ad promises "Sex without the mess," which is probably the stupidest condom positioning ever, and one that exists only to match the provovative visuals.
