Free condom with magazine

underwater-3some-condom.jpgInside the latest issue of Australasia Scuba Diver magazine is a free condom.  It is a gift from the publisher, Underwater Threesome, promoting their forum, magazine, online shop, podcasts and TV. I guess they know their marketplace.  Good on them. At least it is not another tote bag!

I can’t recall a condom being given away inside a magazine. However, the folks at Zoo were giving away condoms at the MCG earlier this year.

    Its never slow in Singleton (hereafter refered to as the ‘Hunter Vally’ for marketing purposes). Far too much money to be spend by the cubs.

    Maybe its a subliminal message, because I find it ironic being given a condom by a mag publisher, cause we certainly need one after what they do to us every month

    Heleng – you might be better off to use it BEFORE they do it to you every month!
