My Stimulus Package Finally Showed Up

by Keith Mulligan | May 12, 2009 |

I was hoping for a check from the federal government, but instead I got a bunch of condoms from Trojan’s  ”Department Of Pleasurey.” How’d they know I was single? This showed up before I filed for my ‘08 returns…

We get lots of random and weird crap sent here to the office?things relevant to BMX like free Red Bull and Matador meat sticks (I say relevant because they sponsor riders) to completely obscure products and promotional pieces like watches and powdered performance enhancing drink mixes. And now rubbers. It’s pretty hilarious to me that something like this would show up to Ride. The press release paperwork was even written to me personally. I’ll avoid the obvious Magnum jokes.

I’m sure teenage boys are high priority on Trojan’s marketing list, but to target them through something like BMX is funny. Maybe the people at their PR agency actually know a thing or two about sleezy BMXers. Maybe they’ve seen Daniel Dher’s signature condoms from Albe’s and are scared of the competition?
