Killer condoms

In a move that is far from premature, the Japanese contraceptive industry is set to thrust its way into the 21st Century next month; Okamoto Industries having worked feverishly to release its new product — the nation’s first spermicide-coated condom.

Further proving that Japan is no slouch when it comes to birth-control, Managing Director Atsushi Okubo breathlessly explained to reporters that, “Coating the inside of the condom with spermicide will further ensure that pregnancy doesn’t happen.”

A statement that no doubt wowed the gathered throng of reporters, yet such excitement will surely pale into insignificance when compared to the company’s promotional plans. As in a bid to get the word out, in-store videos will form part of a nationwide marketing blitz. The short ads set to have shoppers salivating with fast action films of, er, sperm being killed by chemicals.

Still, if this rather conservative approach doesn’t work, the hired services of porn-star-turned TV celebrity Nao Oikawa is nothing short of a masterstroke.

As with condom sales at a record low, the image of Oikawa-san is sure to create at least some growth.

    We must welcome the spermicide-coated condom to Japan. Despite tests proving that spermicide gives little more (if not any at all) protection than a regular condom. But hey, we have ’em in America regardless. 😛

    These type of condoms have been around in the UK for years, why has Japan only just discovered them?

    It has only been in like the last ten years that the pill was available in Japan. It is a very male oriented society.(whereas Viagra took about 6 months to become available after it was released in the US.)
