# Cheeky Chinese Contraception Ads Durex Condoms Releases Below The Belt Ad Aimed at Obama & Romney By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-11-15 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-condoms References: [prexamples](http://prexamples.com/2012/11/obama-the-bigger-man-according-to-durex-china/) & [durex](http://www.durex.com/Pages/default.aspx) Apparently [Durex Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-condoms1) isn't on Mitt Romney's side either; capitalizing on the attention given to the US election in China, the brand recently released an ad featuring the first lady Michelle Obama holding her hands shoulder width apart. Below her is Ann Romney with one hand raised in a pinching motion and her index and thumb almost touching. The Durex Condoms ad is called "The Bigger Man" and was only released in China. It popped up on Chinese social networking site Weibo.com and is alluding to the size of Obama and Romney's manly parts. It's safe to assume this ad from Durex Condoms won't be appearing in any publications in the North America. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Political Satire Marketing:** Opportunity for brands to create controversial ads that parody political figures and capitalize on current events. - **International Advertising:** Opportunity for brands to create localized advertising campaigns that resonate with specific cultures and social values. - **Provocative Messaging:** Opportunity for brands to create bold and attention-grabbing advertisements that generate buzz and conversation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Contraception:** Brands in the contraception industry can use provocative and controversial marketing strategies to stand out and capture consumer attention. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can capitalize on the trend of political satire marketing by helping brands create bold and memorable campaigns. - **Social Networking:** Social networking platforms can benefit from international advertising by attracting brand partnerships for targeted local campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fictional AI-Powered Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manforce-condoms.md) - [Fuss-Free Condom Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-condoms1.md) - [Autocorrect Sexual Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrm-ny.md) - [Pro-Abortion Pleasure Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dame.md) - [Vegetable-Themed Condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rise-of-horticulture.md) - [Valentine's Day Prophylactic Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-afterglow-campaign.md) - [Creative Protection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyn-supreme-feel-condoms.md) - [Senior Safe Sex Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fcking-old.md) - [Humorous Period Care Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/period-underwear-1.md)
