Man, people are really eager for those Occupy Wall Streeters to suit up—and not just in suits! Because all that free love can be dangerous, the condom store Condomania has gone and made a very special set of "Occupy Condoms" which they are offering for the low, low price of $11.99 for a 30 pack (free for actual occupiers).
Following the lead of Ben & Jerry's, Condomania lays out its position like this:
Occupy Condoms! Why? Whether or not you agree with the "demands" of the Occupy Wall Street movement that is sweeping the U.S., one thing is for sure; lots of people out there are tired of feeling screwed. Occupy Condoms say it all in a neat little package while affording young protestors the protection they need to stay safe in the passionate frenzy that is social protest.
Occupy Condoms are sold at a 70% discount to demonstrate our support for social change and the virtuous pursuit of equality for all. Mostly, we didn't think it cool to be capitalizing quite so blatantly on a protest movement that itself is concerned about unscrupulous profiteering. So, we'll just hope for some good buzz and a small amount of unscrupulous profits.
Contact Condomania to request free Occupy Condoms for the Occupy Movement in your city!
So yeah, if you want to help a company earn a small amount of unscrupulous profits, click here. The Occupy Condom is standard size and shape latex cover without spermicide. Despite the image on the packaging, we're 99 percent sure it is not meant to protect your hands while fisting.
Meanwhile, like Spaceballs, Occupy Wall Street's merchandising potential suddenly seems endless, eh? Can Occupy single-ply toilet paper be far behind?
