questionably named product

You remember the Trojan Horse, right? The thing the city took inside it's gates, and then later a bunch of warriors got out of it and attacked the city.

Why would you name a condom brand "Trojan"?

perhaps, they were trying to imply the strength of a trojan versus what you've referenced ;)

I think that's it - the mighty Trojan warrior. Makes you wonder, though.

Excellent, excellent question! *laughing out loud*

Nice choice of userpic, too. Ha!

Nice conehead by the way. It would even rival mine ;)

The man was 'hung like a horse' but afterwards all his mighty warriors came spilling out!

Seems you'd wear it if you wanted to get inside the gates.....

That is, it was the enticement of the trojan horse that got the gates to open....

Didn't do much for Troy, though.

And when has the "user of the trojan" cared overmuch for the damage to Troy?

Oh, sure, there are a few who care, but they're also likely to fill the horse with dead soldiers, too.

The brand is named for the Trojan Wall, a city-encompassing barrier supposedly erected by one of the Greek gods.  In terms of the war between the Greeks and the Trojans, it was completely impenetrable by conventional methods of siege warfare of the day.

That said, Troy's eventual defeat should serve as a reminder for a few key points in the use of condoms:

- they work best in tandem with common sense
- by themselves, they're not entirely infalliable
- regardless of the woman's beauty, proper use suggests that she remain on the outside
- they're not intended to accomodate large, rigid horses

Hm. I had always heard the inventors were graduates of USC.

The two don't necessarily preclude one another, so both statements (or possibly neither?) may well be true.  I should have prefixed my info. with the disclaimer: That's what I gathered, but unless it comes straight from the horse's mouth (http://www.trojancondoms.com) (groan) it's all just hearsay.
