Fat Princess. Also, condoms.

yes, this is old news.

Well, now that i've seen the trailer ( http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-fat-princess/50696 ) i can say for sure that all the flame wars over anti-fat sentiment and sexism were just a ploy by Sony to publicize the game (nice work, asshats.) This trailer shows a potentially fun real-time strategy game that could easily stand on its own, without needing to capitalize on its controvertial name. (speaking of names, Project Natal for the Xbox360? what?)

What this blog is actually about is the Trojan Condoms ad that is cut off right before the actual trailer starts. The "2Go" (http://www.trojancondoms.com/ ...hmm, interesting, that's the name of the new PSP too) is basically Trojan taking the old "keep a condom in your wallet" idea one step further by packaging 2 condoms like a sheet of allergy tablets and marketing it as specifically for your wallet. Honestly it's not that discreet, seeing as it says "ultrathin" on it twice and probably has instructions for use on the back. The only real difference is that squishing one of these is unlikely to reveal a condom-shaped indent.

Way to fail Trojan, gamers don't get sex! Though actually this is very sneaky; if they ever do they're unlikely to know that Trojans are pretty much the most advertized yet least awesome condoms ever. Whoo!
