Thrash Metal Contraceptives

Slayer Custom Condoms Encourage Rocking Pleasure

— August 31, 2011 — Naughty
If Will and Kate can have their own contraceptives for fans of royalty, then it's only fair that head-banging thrash metal enthusiasts enjoy their very own Slayer Custom Condoms.

Most people are probably scratching their heads over this, but I assure you that the Slayer Custom Condoms are very real. The thrash metal band responsible for classic albums such as Seasons in the Abyss is releasing a pack of contraceptives for their fans. The packaging feature the band's iconic eagle logo which makes it pretty hard to miss if you're in a drug store looking for a pack.

What takes the cake is the press release that makes a reference to their 1988 album by saying that these are for use "when you're going to South of Heaven." Encouraging words for practicing safe sex, don't you think?
Trend Themes
1. Custom Contraceptives - The trend of creating custom contraceptives for fans of various music genres and celebrity figures represents a potential opportunity for the adult novelty industry to capitalize on niche markets.
2. Branded Packaging - The trend of featuring iconic logos and branding on contraceptives opens up opportunities for marketing and advertising agencies to collaborate with condom manufacturers in creating unique and eye-catching packaging designs.
3. Humorous Promotions - The trend of incorporating humor and references to popular culture in contraceptive promotions represents an opportunity for companies to engage with consumers in an entertaining way while also promoting safe sex practices.
Industry Implications
1. Adult Novelty - The adult novelty industry has an opportunity to create custom contraception products that cater to specific interests and niche markets, such as music genres and celebrity figures.
2. Marketing and Advertising - The marketing and advertising industry has an opportunity to collaborate with condom manufacturers to create unique and attention-grabbing packaging designs that incorporate branding and popular culture references.
3. Healthcare - The healthcare industry has an opportunity to raise awareness about safe sex practices by partnering with companies that promote safe sex through humorous and entertaining promotions.
