Not content with just fancy action figures in their likeness,?Daft Punk has partnered with condom-maker, Durex, to produce shiny, metallic-flavored?rubbers that play selected arrangements from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack when you ejaculate. Like Tooth Tunes for the sexually active.
Actually, that’s not true. They’re just regular old?condoms, but the?packets?feature the cover artwork from their irritatingly catchy single “Get Lucky.”?And while the phrase?”get lucky” has a quaint, 1950’s schoolboy-copping-a-feel?charm to it, I think a better choice would have?been to name the condoms?after their 2007 single?”Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.”
To promote the fancy new condoms, Durex sent out samples to a particular group of people who get laid constantly: DJs.?And one of the most well-known among them,?that jokester Diplo,?posted a photo of the “Get Lucky” package with the caption:
“Thank god I had those daft punk condoms last night”
He got lucky, get it?
Daft Punk aren’t the first musicians to have their own special condoms. Evidently, at one time the One Direction boys were courted to be the faces of a safe sex campaign, but opted not to out of deference to the young age of their average fan. Seems rather backwards, actually, like maybe that’s when you want to really pound home the message about safe sex … before someone starts having any at all.
Horrific English boy band, JLS, have their own line of condoms. And, likely STD-carrier,?Ke$ha, used to shoot?LifeStyles brand Ke$h-ondoms out of “cannons” at her concerts. Count on Ke$ha to be subtle as well as classy.
