Video Game Condoms: For Gamers with Game
Sure you've got a Mario hoodie and a Donkey Kong t-shirt, but do you have Donkey Schlong and Sextris condoms?
We're big fans of video game memorabilia but we're not sure the childlike nostalgia of discovering a Princess Peach purse or a Tetris board game transfers to these Game Boy condoms. Rather than serving the sole purpose of evoking childhood memories, this marriage of product and marketing is aimed at more mature fans of Game Boy titles and is an attempt to promote safe sex. These colorful contraceptive devices come courtesy of 21-year-old Visual Communications student Ben Marsh (with design by Julia Roach) and a mock sexual health campaign.
Marsh explains the product on his Website:
The Play campaign revolved around "fun"
The packaging aims create a desire to purchase the product for aesthetic reasons, rather than the necessity of condoms. Simply by owning the product, safe sex is promoted.

rephrase this to, do you have 'a' donkey schlong?
Would be even better if the package said something like:
"Sometimes the only way to get it to work is to blow on it a bit."
whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a tick. Gamers get sex? No wai!
Saddest, and lamest thing I've heard in a long time.
whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a tick. Gamers get sex? No wai!
I get my Bone Zone on all the time man!
Lol, even if they're not so practicle, they're friggin hilarious! Bone Zone 2, The long end of Zelda (kinda creepy really), Donkey Schlong. Heck, i'd buy these just to show people!
or
"found a sex bug? we've got a patch for that."
/damn this is geeky
@hawtgamer
Well, generally console users are the one who's not getting it, but PC users are generally the ones who get the game.
Hold on baby while I get my Master Sword ready. =)
selling video game condoms to gamers?? what idiot did the market research on this? your target audience buys one condom and they are set for life....it will never be used
Good riddance
Knowing about computers in general, I would worry about holes in the security. Ofcourse being marketed to people who buy stuff like this, I'm pretty sure there will be a lock up before any intrusions get through.
Interperate that as you may.

You realize the gorilla has the smalles penis to body ratio of any mammel right?

No issue... although in any event I do find it somewhat disturbing that you have that little factoid so readily on hand.
"Hung like a gorill" is a very personal insult in Africa. It's like "needle dick" here.

Flipping off to crysis doesn't count.

Don't worry, these weren't made by Microsoft, so you're actually safe.

awesome. sad but true.
.....but PC users are generally the ones who get the game.
If true, they are not getting the hot ones. I work with many PC gamers, and of the few who have passed 3rd base.....well, let me be polite and describe their girls as Cookie Monsters.

My favourite subject - porn parodies!
Crazy Dong
Duck Hunt (think about it! More for the gay scene I'd guess)

Ignoring the fact the idea is to parody the original titles, there's always some classics:
Mission Impossible (probably applicable to most customers)
Dream Land (ditto)
Fantasy Zone (ditto)
Centipede (for the smaller variety)
Die Hard (for the elderly)
Choki! Choki!
Champion Poker
Pole Position
Altered Beast
Final Blow
Space Invaders
Cheese Chase
Baby Poker
Black Hole
Blaster
Ring King
Beaver Bash
Thrust (classic BBC game)
