Next time you see that Trojan comdoms TV commercial (women talking in a coffee shop), pay very close attention to the salt shaker thing in the middle of the table, and the cups with sugar packets. Also look closely at what the women do with their hands at the beginning, middle, and end of the spot....I now seriously admire whoever set up that ad. He/She is either very clever, or very sick... =)

First off, hi there I've not seen you here before.Second of all could you please explain the ad since we don't have good adverts in Britain.

Agreed. Please explain for all the German blondes, too.

the ad is full of sexual innuendoes.

Erm yep... That makes it so much funnier for those who haven't seen it.<Wisper>Liney, Are you laughing. Is it just me or do you feel like you are really missing out on some great mind numbing TV?</Wisper>
Yeah Thanks for that though I'll just have to hope that some day the UK will stop being affraid of sex. I can imagine the uproar there would be if durex one day decided to put a fucking great condom ad up on a billboard right in the middle of the city, that would rule!

Um, yeah, liquid got the idea... The women's dialog is about an "encounter" one recently had with her boyfriend; but the scene & actions seem very boring at first - they're just having coffee (previous Trojan ads were more "straightforward"...). But if you look closely you can see the women "acting things out" with their hands - e.g. at the beginning one "strokes" the lip of her coffee cup with her fingers. Another thing to notice is the very tall, cylindrical salt shaker that sticks up from the table all phallus-like - there are even two spherical "balls" (cups with sugar packets) in just the right places next to it. Once you see this you won't be able to watch the ad with a straight face - it's like Joe Camel . At the end of the ad someone places a comdom packet right up against the salt container/penis...
