  1. Hmm. Well, Durex was always a "revolutionary" company. Something like Beneton. And some may like that...some not

  2. Horsefeathers. The resolution of the 'poster' is far superior to that of the surrounding scenery and without doubt in my mind this is a fairly weak exercise in PaintShop/Photoshop, whatever.

  3. That's true Luba, controversial is sometimes a hit or a distinct flop. As for the anonymous comment : Yes whatever, it is a great idea though!

  4. It might be distracting when driving, or in the words of Mr Bill, Oh Noooo!

  5. Clearly, the photo is fake. And imagine an add in France with English text! The French would be very offended, because after all French is the leading language of the world!

  8. It is almost certainly a fake, but given the number of times it's been forwarded, how much more effective an ad can a company wish for? If someone inside Durex did this, he needs a raise. If it was someone outside the company, someone needs to hire him (assuming it's a guy for obvious reasons).

  9. I can confirm it is a fake.
    I leave next to Monaco and take that tunnel everyday to come back from work, and I never saw that!!

  10. Hi Anonymous,

    I would gladly trade you jobs for a month or so to check it out! We are on our way there in June and although I believe you, it is worth just a picture of the entrance to "photoshop" my own rendering!

    1. French is a great language for making love, German is good for telling someone off but...

      ...if you want to get a message across, clearly and concisely, use English.

  13. I always thought it was dark inside one of those things.

  14. If this ad is for real, the Durex company should be banned from business all over the planet!
    That ad,whether real or fake, is degrading to ALL women in this world, & suggests too, that only women can transmit the AIDS virus!
    Women, REVOLT!!!!
    We cannot allow this type of objectifying us to exist & grow!!!

  15. Texas woman you need to get a life....Could it not be read the other way the man will not transmit aids to the tunnel? Alternatively , this reduces the risk of Aids , HPV and all the other STD's as well as avoiding unwanted pregnancy. You obviously have issues that you need to address with your analyst.
