An Australian condom ad has been making people stand to attention the world over, after being banned from Aussie TV for having too many ‘sexual references’.
Four Seasons managing director Graham Porter said that the ad was “…intended to run on free-to-air TV as a 30-second ad, however CAD knocked it back asking for the removal of all sexual references.”
“To connect with the younger demographic, you need to be irreverent and entertaining and to remove all sexual references in the TV ad defeats the purpose of this entire campaign. The fact is this is a critical safe sex message.”
That’s true – the kids these days are renowned for demanding a lot of irreverence. The problem here is, the ‘sexual references’ in this case involve a couple having all the sex. All the sex in all the kinds of ways. It’s pretty funny, but definitely NSFW:
You have to wonder if Four Seasons actually wanted this banned condom ad on TV, or just the publicity that would come from getting said ad banned from TV, cos ain’t nobody was ever going to let that play during Sunrise.

Disagree with this, the male/female's seem to look quite young! They wonder why teenagers are having sex earlier!
I'm 20, they look my age, 18 at youngest. And I can guarantee people were having sex at 14,15,16 for as long as sex has been around. I think that with the further reach of social media and with more information we are just more aware of it.
