The most recent advertisement for [French condom company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durex-afterglow-campaign) Tulipan Condoms is a clever play on all of the recent worry about swine flu and people donning SARS masks.

The Tulipan Condoms advertisement shows two men with a bra clasped around their heads mimicking the well-known masks that are supposed to help ward off the flu with the phrase “keep [taking hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad).”

The Tulipan Condoms ad encourages you to [be safe in all aspects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underaware) of your life—including in bed.
