Occupy Wall Street Condoms
Occupy Wall Street, the small call to protest that has become a worldwide phenomenon, just arrived to San Diego this past week. The streets of our downtown district were amazingly filled with citizens looking for a change in the American corporate system. As a a whole, I consider San Diego one of the the most laid back (re: lazy) cities in America, so seeing the tens of thousands march for change was shocking, and wildly refreshing.
Of course, though, this movement wouldn’t be complete with a condom company making a little dough off the situation, and Condomania has done just that, by releasing Occupy Wall Street themed condoms called (creativity overload alert!) “Occupy Condoms.” From the company’s website:
Whether or not you agree with the “demands” of the Occupy Wall Street movement that is sweeping the U.S., one thing is for sure; lots of people out there are tired of feeling screwed. Occupy Condoms say it all in a neat little package while affording young protestors the protection they need to stay safe in the passionate frenzy that is social protest.
Occupy Condoms are sold at a 70% discount to demonstrate our support for social change and the virtuous pursuit of equality for all. Mostly, we didn’t think it cool to be capitalizing quite so blatantly on a protest movement that itself is concerned about unscrupulous profiteering. So, we’ll just hope for some good buzz and a small amount of unscrupulous profits.
Fair enough – OBC always supports safe sex (as you might know by our own line of condoms, which we gave away for FREE, mind you), and any company that lessens the chance of sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies is A-OK with us.
Especially ’cause I don’t need any of dem der damn hippies MAKING NO MO LIBERAL BABIES, y’HURR? AMUURIKA!!
