Canada: Condom commercials can*t use contraception?

Yaknow you might be right.



I find blue liquid offensive though.

Condom Advertising



Commercials must



* deal solely with the issue of disease prevention



Commercials must not



* make mention of contraception





I can*t remember ever seeing a condom commercial run in Canada, but I have seen condom print ads. None of them mention contraception, they only promote prevention of STD. Why is condom use as an effective method of contraception forbidden to be in Canadian commercials? I don*t understand.

Yeah.. That is weird. I mean I know, they can break, they can fall off if you*re a dumbass who doesn*t pull out while still hard, so there is a 99% successful contraception rate when used correctly (ie; not in combination with baby oil and sewing needles or the likes)..... Which is pretty much the same successrate at the pill, isn*t it? And the pill isn*t advertised as a "weight gainer" or "possible breast cancer risk reducer" or a "blood clot promoter" or "estrogen-raiser in the groundwater tablets" whatever.



Very weird.



(yeah I hate the pill. It sucks. So sue me.)

It might be something stupid, like not wanting to offend. You know, like the whole blue liquid thing? I can see blood here but I can*t in those other ads.
