PSA


Public Service Announcement from MP&S:

The consumers group best known for rating cars and washing machines has turned its testing prowess to condoms to find out which ones measure up best and how other birth control methods compare.

The nonprofit Consumers Union says in a new guide to contraception that the seven top U.S. types of condom they studied did not burst despite vigorous testing, and all models met international standards.

But results showed that the top brand, able to take the most punishment, was the Durex Extra Sensitive Lubricated Latex, according to the report. Other top-performers include the Durex Performax Lubricated, Lifestyles Classic Collection Ultra Sensitive Lubricated and TheyFit Lubricated.

And here's the kicker:

A melon-colored model distributed by Planned Parenthood performed the worst, bursting during a test in which the latex condoms were filled with air.

--Way to go, Planned Parenthood.

You Said

Isn't that know as cross-marketing in the business world?

I knew some girls in high school who, for fun, would go out on the weekend driving around and throw condoms at passing cars. They called this practice 'lubin'.

According to their scientific research, I believe Trojans "ribbed" were the preferred brand.

I never really asked any questions. High school was so confusing for me.

Umm . . . "vigorous testing" . . . "able to take the most punishment" . . . ? Nice descriptive writing. Where do you find these articles?! Ha.

Magnum XL's are the best brand, hands down.

I'm just saying!

Myself, I'm waiting for some conspiracy theorists to go after Planned Parenthood with this tidbit...

Planned Parenthood would rather birth control by way of abortions.
