Trojan Condoms

This'll probably get locked, but I've been thinking recently: Trojan is a terrible name for a condom.

The name "Trojan" makes me think of a trojan horse, and the whole point of a trojan horse is that its this big artificial thing, that comes in, and then, when no one is looking, it opens up and all these little guys come out.

Am I right?

    Actually made me laugh. Probably something to do with it tying in to me watching Neon Evangelion Death, Rebirth and Genesis last night.

    I think we've all wondered why they used the name Trojan. Maybe not everyone, but it's no surprise that other people have questioned it.

    Ahh sorry Mantrid, 15.

    I guess it's because the Trojans were man enough to stand up against the Anceint Greeks for several years (according to the story). I guess their slogan should be "with a Trojan, sex will last as long as the Trojan War, with only a fraction of the eroticism".

    could be they just wanted a name that wasn't "Durex" or "Condomi"... come on, at least it's an original name, and they work, therefor... FREE CONTRACEPTIVES FOR ALL.

    This should be the new way to judge the age of consent. As soon as you realize the joke, you're legally allowed to have sex.

    You know, we should really try and get someone from the NS Forum into congress. That would be SO useful...

    But even then, naming a condom after a guy who had 50+ kids is a bit strange.

    1: Bash.org will give you the cooties.
    2: Trojan condoms are named for Trojan warriors, who's skill and musk woo even the most hearty women.
    3: ***Locked***
