To the oldest local rock radio station…get some class! Radio ads about condoms..in the morning, in the afternoon..Crips my kids hear that shit. Well they used to hear it because I don’t listen to your station any longer. Is that worth the advertising dollar?!
No class Bobby Bass!

Turn…..the…..fucking….channel.
Yes, because this isn’t the real world that your kids are growing up in. I heard about condoms in second grade. And considering that condoms are NOTHING but a necessity, I’d rather have my kids hear ads about them and be encouraged to use them when they begin….ok, i don’t want to THINK about that- but you get my idea!
If your kids aren’t old enough to know what a condom is, then it’s not a problem. If they ARE old enough, then how’s it going to hurt them? When they inevitably start fucking their classmates, maybe they’ll remember that radio ad that Mom didn’t want them to listen to.
I remember they had a spiel about ‘welding your channel changer to the “-” ‘
Why would anyone want to limit themselves to one small groups idiotic opinions & music selections.
I’m completely incapable of driving my truck & listening to their all talk (I’m being polite by calling it talk as opposed to drivel) ,no info & certainly no rock morning program. It’s so bad it has me thinking suicidal thoughts, as they take turns rambling & rambling & rambliiiii !!!
loving the fast search feature programable BUTTONS on my trucks system !
you know what? It ain’t about the kids…I don’t want to hear over and over ads about condoms either…so I don’t listen.
I prefer Sirius/XM radio…ads about trucks!
OP is just mad because the stations’ advertising makes them uncomfortable around their kids, not because there’s anything wrong with kids knowing about condoms.
Shit, I knew what a condom was when I was 7 and I’m glad — I certainly knew enough about safe sex as a teenager to not get myself knocked up or get what my mother refers to as a “social disease.” Heh.
With an attitude like that, OP, your kids are probably going to either get someone knocked up or get knocked up themselves. Ignorance certainly isn’t bliss, so get your head out of the sand! I bet you bitch about condom and pap test ads on the bus too, don’t you?
when i was a kid we didn’t have condominiums
“”I knew what a condom was when I was 7″”
Sorry to hear that…did you ever tell anyone?
eh, I heard the word “condom” and asked my mom what it was and she told me. My parents were pretty good with answering even the most awkward questions I asked as a kid, Frosty 😉
hmm.
Maybe so.
I had no idea there was such competition in the condom world that they needed to run ads….what kinda things do they say?
I picture it like other brand competition I guess:
We’re number 2, but we try harder?
7/10 gay porn stars prefer us in a taste test?
You’re soaking in it?
Lmao!!! “No Class Bobby Bass”!! Classic, OP!
Pretty Kitty…
My attitude is not about the condom..its the type of advertising…these ads are based on the “pleasure”, not the “protection” and “birth control”. That is what tweens and teens need to know.
Adults know the difference…young children do not.
Whats wrong with sex being pleasurable? One of the main reasons people don’t want to use condoms is because they think that condoms make sex less pleasurable. Dispelling that myth is what the ads are based on, so that more condoms are sold and less people are infected/knocked up. How is that bad? Because your tween or teen might hear about it on the radio? Tweens and teens already know about this stuff… I don’t really think either of them fall under “young children” either.
I think the biggest problem is your kids are in a gang… “crips my kids”
Latex condo…boy I’d sure love to live in one of those!
sodey, they aren’t… the OP is though and is pleading to his fellow members. I expect a fantastic shootout on air shortly ….though I suppose I’ll have to miss it since I never listen to that crap.
when i first saw the words”RADIO CONDOM”,i thought holy shit,are they making them now for radios,what next i thought,t.v. condoms.was the world finally gone fucking nuts,then i read the story,boooooooooooooring.big fucking deal,they sell them all over the place,and if you don’t want your dick falling off.that is after some very strange fuck,then you would wrap the fucking(haha) thing.other than that,get a fucking grip,this is 2009,for a couple more days,anyway.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm ….. pleasure. *explodes*
as sam kinison used to say: put a helmet on that soldier son,your goin in to battle
Seriously? This is your concern? Your kids hearing a condom ad? Are you from the 1950’s? I’ll be you let your kids play violent video games or prime time tv, you loser. People like you make me want to puke. It’s more natural to fuck some one than kill some one. Guess we know which is more important to you.
Oh please, you bought into that whole “Video games turn kids into murderers” bullshit, javagirl? Really?
Yeah, why should kids learn about safer sex and not think it’s shameful to use condoms? Let them figure it out on their own, I’m sure that’ll be safe.
