I've seen family planning ads on the sides of busses, but this is just bass ackwards
Posted by: mm | January 25, 2007 at 04:31 PM
They should imprint those condoms with pictures of K-Fed and Twitney.

Siouxie, did you clicky-thingy me????
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 25, 2007 at 04:39 PM
hmmmmmm no, Ducky...course not.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 25, 2007 at 04:45 PM
The best way for them to gauge "usage" is by how many of the discarded wrappers they find tossed on the ground. I wish that was a joke. I can just imagine the poor shmo municipal worker whose job it becomes to troll secluded areas of city parks scouring the ground for "Market Research".
If they don't name them "Coney Island Whitefish" or "Hudson River Whitefish" they're missing out on a branding goldmine.
Posted by: Lairbo | January 25, 2007 at 04:49 PM
I meant flashy-thingy. Are you sure???
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 25, 2007 at 04:50 PM
The Bronx Bomber?
Posted by: pogo | January 25, 2007 at 04:50 PM
I think Siouxie's on the right track; they should be red, have a picture of a big apple on the wrapper, and the slogan would be "An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away."
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 25, 2007 at 04:52 PM
*snork* steve w.......Ducky, you read my mind with K-d!ckhead.
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 25, 2007 at 04:53 PM
snork @ "Bronx Bombers". Mets fans could use "The Amazin's".
Posted by: Lairbo | January 25, 2007 at 04:56 PM
For those well endowed guys."the Long Island"?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 25, 2007 at 04:56 PM
Ooooh, Jazzzz, you read MY mind with "Long Island."

3rd leading cause of death in the city? Isn't that an epidemic?

Just gotta make sure you pronouce that with the accentuated "g," Jazzzzz.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 25, 2007 at 05:00 PM
Jzz & JstDky: I had held back proposing the name "Shlong Island." I see now how wrong that was.
For sophisticated, literate types, there'd be the "Eustace Ticklers."
Posted by: Lairbo | January 25, 2007 at 05:01 PM
Yeah, there's a souvenir you want your mom bringing home after her trip to New York.
Posted by: Beppie | January 25, 2007 at 05:06 PM
Lots of *snorks* in here!
Coney Island Foot Longs?
And for you NY gals planning on pulling a train, may we interest you in our Subway series multi-pack?
Posted by: CJrun | January 25, 2007 at 05:10 PM
psst hanna - you'd probably be ok so long as you don't, uh, drink the water? If you get my drift.
Posted by: pogo | January 25, 2007 at 05:11 PM
And for the more effeminate, we have The Staten Island Fairy.

Posted by: fivver | January 25, 2007 at 05:17 PM
the "tube"?
Honestly, I can't think of a less glamorous image of NewYork to use for their "brand" than the subway They need something like
Broadplay, Dark Place, Primed Square, Grand Central PlayStation, etc.
Posted by: mm | January 25, 2007 at 05:17 PM
mm I'm thinking of a Statue of Liberty theme, but the details just won't come.
Posted by: fivver | January 25, 2007 at 05:18 PM
"the Empire Steak"?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 25, 2007 at 05:19 PM
Yonkers Bonkers? Or Yonkers Wonkers?

"the Statue at Liberty"?
Posted by: mm | January 25, 2007 at 05:20 PM
The Yankee Hanky-Panky?
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 25, 2007 at 05:24 PM
For the newly-arrived immigrant types who don't yet have a command of the English language, how about just a picture of a subway train entering a tunnel?
Too Freudian?
Sort of OT: I once found it necessary, a long time ago, to get tested for sexually transmitted cooties, as it were. (I was young and single.) On my way out after receiving the results (I was clean), I was handed a brown paper sack FULL of condoms. When I got home and emptied the bag, I noticed they had EXPIRATION DATES on them. I thought to myself, "A sackful of condoms that'll expire in a year? I don't need that kind of pressure!"
Also sort of OT: Condoms can make cool balloon animals.
Posted by: Mr. Completely | January 25, 2007 at 05:28 PM
Pogo, good one. Does it make sex safer for gay guys if they use condoms?
Posted by: puzzled | January 25, 2007 at 05:29 PM
Expiration dates are fun. I worked with a couple who had major fight because he bought a box of condoms that would expire in a month, and she felt it was too much pressure because they were on a tight budget and could not afford to waste things.
Posted by: Hanna | January 25, 2007 at 05:32 PM
Ewwwww, no. I could never ride the subway again, not after where it's been.
Posted by: NRA | January 25, 2007 at 05:35 PM
puzzled - Yeah. You been livin' under a rock or sumpin?
Posted by: pogo | January 25, 2007 at 05:35 PM

MtB - I thought of that, but is it still general knowledge they were once a NY team?
*fondly remembers the KC As*
Posted by: pogo | January 25, 2007 at 05:40 PM
BTW, I can never stop laughing every time I hear or read "Yonkers", ever since someone told me it sounds like a place that guys fear getting hit.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 25, 2007 at 05:41 PM
No rocks. But, your reaction tells me I should find one...
Posted by: puzzled | January 25, 2007 at 05:42 PM

On one side of the wrapper, Lady Liberty. On the obverse:
‘Ay, lonely lads, wanna romp?’ asks she
With slattern’s lips. ‘Gimme your turgid, gal-poor,
Your throbbing manhood yearning to burst free.’
Don’t discard this wretched refuse on our shore.

stop spreading the clap
put these on today
you want to wear a condom from
new york , new york
those sagging "fun girls"
you're pronging today
might give a souvenir from
old new york
you don't want to wake up with a pain
each time you pee
to find you're totally ill, on a watch list
from the CDC!
those little blue pills
you're gobbling today
will make you much more vulnerable
in old new york
if you're gonna make it here
we need to instill some fear
use these to hold your goo, new york!

Glad I can make y'all smile a little. Ever have days when you want a mulligan? I actually had to WORK today, can you believe that? Then, backing out of my drivway about an hour ago, I back into my neighbor's car. I'm dieting and consequently, not drinking but dang if I wouldn't sacrifice a squirrel for a glass of wine right now. Wow, looking back over this post, looks like I already had a whole bottle of whine.
Posted by: casey | January 25, 2007 at 06:23 PM
some cheese with that whine, casey???
Posted by: Siouxie | January 25, 2007 at 06:25 PM

You all know it's only a matter of time before The Donald comes up with his own condom aptly named The Trump Tower.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 25, 2007 at 06:36 PM
Awww, ((((casey)))). I'm really sorry to hear that. My wife's best friend just got a new used car on Tuesday, and totalled it Wednesday. I hate when that happens!

Just a fun link, for a change of pace. A bit strangely written, as I guess it was just the response half of a telephone interview. On the upside, there's s3x and camel, though not together. A favorite of mine, the amazing Peter O’Toole.
Posted by: CJrun | January 25, 2007 at 06:39 PM
Awww, thanks Clean.
Posted by: casey | January 25, 2007 at 06:40 PM
Sxie: You just know that Trump's brand would be really shiny, block the view from other condoms and have his name all over it. Or maybe that's just his condos. Hmmm.

You forgot to mention that it would be gold, Lairbo, but otherwise you hit the nail on the head...or maybe hit the head with... never mind.
Posted by: Dr. McCoy | January 25, 2007 at 06:48 PM
Very true, Lairbo & Dr. McCoy. Let's just hope it doesn't include a combover.

Some folks like to get away, they're not gettin' laid in the neighborhood
Hop a flight to miami beach or hollywood.
I'm trollin' for hookers on the hudson river line-
I'm in a new york state of mind.
I get off on the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines,
Diddled a bear in the rockies under the evergreens,
But I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste more time-
I'm in a new york state of mind.
It's never easy for me to get laid
Thinking maybe it's the condoms I use,
And I tell ya, sometimes I just tore out a page from
The new york times, the daily news...
It comes down to quality-and now I see that I've let it slide,
I don't care whether it's chinatown or riverside,
I'll be wearin the new condoms, from the front or from behind-
I'm in a new york state of mind.
I'm just trollin' for hookers on the hudson river line-
cause I'm in a new york state of mind.
