Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan Blue Condoms. "They're Society's Only Protection"
Apparently the people behind the new movie, Watchmen want you to stay protected in Dr. Manhattan condoms. Check it out:
They were giving these out to people in a mall during Valentine's Day as a promotion for the movie.
Although it does seem a little strange to be giving out condoms as a promotional item, the marketing behind it is pretty cool, especially during Valentine's Day.
If someone were to hand you those at a mall, would you use the condoms? Will it make you feel weird since they were for a movie promotion?

Even for total comic geeks this is too much.
Expressionless blue men who walk around naked don't turn me on. This condom = icy cold shower
nope. totally unsexy.
At my home university there was a group that would hand out condoms to people that had a little advertisement for their shows, though I'm not sure if the shows had anything to do with condoms...this was a normal occurrence, not just for V-Day. Either way I have no use for them.
they are latex so I probably would not use them, however, if I weren't allergic to latex I don't see what the big deal is. Its a condom.
I don't think I would trust it solely because of the brand. For all I know, it's the equivalent of those cheap 99 cent condoms that break easily. I think it's a cute idea though.
I probably would not use them.
I think it's probably safer to buy your own in a box. At least you know where they came from and exactly what they are.
I wonder how many of those are going to be found around the malls. Parents will think that a bunch of sex addicts have taken up residence around the food court.
i think it s a very cute idea to promote their movie. i'm not sure how comfortable i would be using it, but if it's the only one left i'd grab it
How strange.
ew
Based solely on the fact that these condoms are blue, I wouldn't put them to use. There's just something about colored condoms...
that seems pretty funny. As long as it has the warning label and if I can find out which company makes them, then I wouldn't mind using it lol.
not at all.
i am a huge watchmen fan,
i would love to have my boyfriend
make his penis blue and pretend
we are doing the dirty like dr. manhattan and laurie.
:) <3
i think a blue condom would cause both my boyfriend and myself to laugh ourselves out of the mood. i know one of us would say, "so this is what a smurf's penis looks like..."-- i just don't know which would get to it first.
ew, no.
but, yay! free stuff!
totally, why not? as long as it's a reputable brand of condom and not the cheap ones whose packages leak (GROSS!) - the college republicans here on campus handed out red ones that leaked two years ago and it was disgusting.
Umm, probably not. Â That seems kinda gross... =\
lol, i think it's hilarious.
I approve of this viral (AHAHAHA SEE WHAT I DID THERE) marketing so, so hard.
I can't believe nobody's gone for the obvious joke yet...
Fist off where was i when they handed those out?!?!?
Of course i would have taken them.I probably would have taken several of them since I'm a fan.
Beside what male wouldn't have a blue penis?!?!? that's the more important question
the watchmen movie looks SO FREAKIN AWESOME, and i think this promotional strategy rocks lol. the pun was a total knee slapper, i must say xP. it's really clever and creative, but indeed a bit racy (and not to mention- really misleading lol) for people who aren't already into the movie.
and me and my bf have used plenty of free and colored condoms! (cheap college students pilfering student center samples LOL)- and it ain't no thang B)
Haha, that's pretty funny. I'd expect them to do something like that for a romance, not a superhero (is that what it is?) movie. But ah, nice idea. And so long as the condoms work, have never been used before, are sanitary, etc; why not use them? At least they don't have superman on them.
They handed out condoms when you bought something at my school store. They had two condoms, and a mint in a little baggy with a pamphlet. The pamphlet was titled Beaver and Cock, with corresponding animal cartoons.
The beaver, oddly enough, was drawn wearing Aretha Franklin's giant bow hat from the Inauguration.
Why??
I also find Dr. Manhattan cool enough, but very unsexy.
Very. Unsexy.
Do they make you feel like a superhero?
