iPhone inspired iCondom
Apple must start a lawsuit !!! we can’t imagine someone would be able to get away with this, but the iPhone inspired iCondom is quite entertaining.Its available in California strawberry, diet cola or natural porridge flavors, the iCondom is probably just a viral promotion trying to piggyback on the success of the iPhone and iPod.
iCondom’s pokesperson Steve Jones claims their product “opens a new era in the history of safe sex” and has “latex with memory”.
It took them 4 years to make this product!
Apple would have took a year and next year we would have the 3g version only kidding now !
