Trojan condoms have been criticized in the past for being too negative. Research shows their product image to be bad or worse, with a dirty and mood-killing connotation. Their latest ad campaign has gone positive, however, and is just in time for Valentine's Day.
A young couple sits in the car, and the boyfriend reveals his Valentine's Day present to his girlfriend: gonorrhea. She's thrilled, and apparently so is he, because he babbles, "Because, you know, herpes, you can't return."
