I'm not sure about the Vatican endorsement. SixSex is made by a Chinese company called Jissbon. My guess is the message was simply lost in translation.

Information was provided from the Ansell Annual Review 2006, p. 16. Ansell is a British latex manufacturer that owns a 75 percent share of Jissbon. The document is available at http://www.ansell.com/investor/pdfs/ansell_annualreview06_web-Final.pdf.

The manufacturer is actually "SickSex"

Wow. Somebody needs a new copywriter.

that is so funny! first of all, i seriously doubt that someone is going to read the packaging before tearing into it, and second of all, if i found that labeling on a box of condoms, i would boycot it.

Too funny. I am guessing it should read protect and not provide

would anyone buy this product after reading the label? also John: these are funny-I especially like the one about tootling the horn!

HIlarious! "Geez, I've been looking for a good STD lately; I think I'll run out and buy SickSex Condoms"...What fun! Thanks for the laughs!!

This is too funny! I could'nt believe what it said. I thought it was the person who posted the product!

I also thought this was written by the person who posted it and I just thought they didn't proof read! John, those were great! Thanks!

"Excellent-class and it can provide you with pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS"... someone should tell the people who buy these that if they want to get pregnant or get a STD/I they can just forget the condom and save themselves the money. Good for a laugh thouhg... nice find.

I love those signs you posted john. I especially liked the one from the furrier... I am against animals being killed for clothing, but skinning the women and making coast of them... now theres an idea. LOL.

For the person who has almost everything.

I've never tried this product. What is with the 'typo'? Stating that it can "provide you with pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS." With that information describing the product you'd be better of going without one!

Never used them...but hey practice safe sex!

My son loves them. I would not know.

safe sex is a must!
