uhh, okay... I though that was one of the very few decent ads these days. I actually like it... and I dunno what could be seen as offensive in that. Maybe it's cause they portray men who don't use condoms as pigs ?

I'd bet my life on that !

Racist.

IIUC, "pig sex" specifically refers to sex without a condom, in some quarters (I came across encountered the term via an article in a Toronto gay newspaper).

Wow... In regards to the rule they stated for not showing particular types of condom adds: It amazes me that a condom add that points out that condoms can be used for helping prevent pregnancy would be censored.

God I hate conservatives. This is the same sort of mentality that says that needle exchange programs condone and encourage drug usage rather than just accepting that drug use happens and we should at least try to minimize the harm to users and to society on the whole. I mean if pointing out that condoms prevent pregnancy helps cut teenage pregnancy rates, and reduces the need for abortions - shouldn't that be a good thing for everyone? Nope fundamentalist dickheads never get that.

Now I know this add could be seen to glamourize casual sex which I can see offending people opposed to casual sex, but this add doesn't indicate prevention of pregnancy any more than prevention of disease catching, so how can they use their stupid little rule anyway?

Perhaps, it's the idea of a pig evolving into a man that Fox finds offensive. I don't know, I really like the ad, it seems quite tame and well done to me.

it shows males in a bad light, and shows that people have horomons and want to have sex without being married. but, keep showing girls barely dressed to sell a burger and all that jazz because those are ok. america needs to get laid.

the thing i find most intersting here is that for some reason safe sex is a bad thing more so for consevatives and republicans. i see nothing wrong with the add and to me it displays more about disease risk due to the unhygenic look of the pigs to the clean cut look of the dude.

If western countries are not careful they will suffer the same problem of a widespread HIV/Aids epidemic like a lot of developing countries have. O and news flash for those who think you have to be Gay to get HIV/Aids you do not.

I think we're STILL living in puritan times. A lot of communities in this country are still based on puritanical, Christian and Victorian modes of thought. These foundations deny the basic human need for sex, deep down they think sex is WRONG.

I was just thinking how great it would be if the conservatives would do like the Amish and keep their ideals to themselves, go live off in a self sustainable community by themselves. Rather than ruin it for the rest of us.

The real reason they pulled the ad is because some men are pigs whether or not they have condoms on their person. They just didn't want to admit it.

i can see how the ad could be construed as offensive. it gives the impression that the women are disinterested in the pigmen solely because the pigmen don't have condoms, thus sort of implying that single women who go to bars are skanks who are only interested in fucking the first dick to cross their path, just so long as that dick comes with a condom. it also seems to state that the only criteria for labeling a man as a "pig" is whether or not he practices safe sex.

I think that's a hell of a stretch, personally. Also, nothing in that interpretation relates to any of the reasons given by FOX and CBS for why they won't run it.

What Fox is not realizing is that Trojan did it's homework, and this campaign has as much to do with sexual health as it does preventing pregnancy. The metaphor Fox could not grasp was that for many centuries pigs have been used to smell out truffles, proving they have one spectacular sense of smell. What is going on in the bar is obvious, so I drew a diagram to explain it. Fox is missing out on an important piece of health advertising.
