Condom Ads Don't Fly at CBS, Fox

Check out trojanevolve.com for the condom commercial that Fox and CBS think is too unseemly for your innocent eyes and ears. Although both networks had previously accepted ads that highlighted a condom's ability to prevent the transmission of the AIDS virus, according to The New York Times, they balked at airing a commercial that focused on a condom's ability to prevent pregnancy.

Okay, so the pigs are a little over the top. But they're certainly memorable. And, based on the 5 bajillion ads we've all seen over the years promoting Viagra and the like, that does seem to be the point.
