Has anyone seen the size of the NYC condoms? I think they're targeting asian men with erectile dysfuction.
I realize that they're free and thus they don't want to spend much advertising, but it would help if they made it easier to find the condoms. I've only seen them a couple times, hidden away in a random corner of a bar.
When the subway condoms were first announced, I thought there would be one for each subway line: An 'A' condom, an 'L' condom, a '7' condom, etc.
When the generic subway wrapper appeared, I lost interest.
Never seen one either...
Lookit that fat Spidey in the center of the group. Disgusting!
Good job edEx, you had to make sure you beat everyone else to the racist joke.
