Eh? How can any name for condoms *not* bring to mind sexual connotations?

Prayer? Then you’ll be blessed with children. Lots of ‘em.

The problem with that is the fact that with the passage of time, more and more innocent words take on ‘alternate’ meanings!

Careful now John, if Sarah gets wind of your little joke, she’s gonna demand an apology and try and get you fired *cough-Letterman-/cough*

I’d call them “Pleasure Pinchers” … but thats just me!

I don’t think it is so much about politically correct, Nate, as much as it is about tricking people into thinking it is a different company, like Phillip Morris changing its name so it wouldn’t be on cheeze-it’s any more.

and while “fun balloons” is wonderful, I thought kids today preferred to use prayer? It’s what Bristol used!

“Fun Balloons”? Not bad, Nate. They’re more fun if you turn them inside out so they become ribbed for your pleasure.

I never did get renaming things to make them more “politically correct” or whatever. Doesn’t make sense. They need to think of a good name before launching the product, discovery, etc. I would’ve named condoms “Fun Balloons”
