Morbid Condom Ads

Skeletons Having Sex

We've seen a myriad of strange sexual advertisements, but this ad concept for Tulipan condoms in Argentina is truly bizarre.

I have to say, I love the images, but don't quite grasp the concept... but perhaps you don't need to.

In the UK, it is also widely reported that Kate Moss has two shagging skeletons in her house that she places in strange positions. To each their own!




Implications - Unusual imagery is a great way for advertisements to quickly capture consumers' attention among a sea of visuals. Businesses should consider using shockvertising -- like these skeletons engaging in sexual intercourse -- if they want to stand out from competitors and produce memorable products.

The use of provocative imagery, like skeletons engaging in sexual intercourse, can quickly capture consumers' attention and make a lasting impression.

Brands that use taboo marketing, such as Tulipan condoms using morbid and sexual ads, can take risks and attract customers seeking edgier products.
