MTV is known for debuting racy music videos and controversial reality TV shows, but their safe sex announcements are equally as titillating. Their latest advertisement features a series of cartoon drawings of a flaccid penis, equipped with tiny wings—sometimes wearing a hat or round spectacles. Even more bizarre, the member is personified doing mundane things, like watching TV or playing chess. The slogan for the campaign reads, “There’s no sex in heaven. Stay alive. Use a condom.” While we appreciate the important message, the mixture of all these elements seems a bit bizarre. What other advertisements have controversial or confusing messages? Take a look at the most bizarre ads promoting safe sex.
