I was looking for these, (btw, I would type 'not safe for work' if I thought anyone who reads this blog actually has a job - perhaps instead you should not open them with your mom in the room? or while eating?) which we saw on television last night while at the pub, but it turns out if you Google "French safe sex ad" this comes up first:
It might be enough for some people to just see the ad, featuring a penis soaking in a tub. But what is he saying? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE IS SAYING.
Also, I can't help but actually behold that guy with some affection. I think it's because of the resemblance to Admiral Ackbar. And I even just proved that people who know their Star Wars can talk about sex. If there are any twelve-year-old geeks out there, I am your girl.
off of the top of my head, without getting my dictionary, it says something like, "condoms are like a good bath - once one is inside..." and i can guess at the rest but i was always bad with the whole "ne...plus/jamais" thing and since you have a friend who actually speaks french i don't want to embarrass myself any further. try babelfish?
ReplyDeletep.s. fun fact: aides was founded by foucault's lover, daniel defert, after foucault died of aids in 1984. yeay!!!

ReplyDeleteThis made my afternoon. Just four days ago, I heard talk of those French safe sex ads in Georgia, and spent a good 30 minutes trying to track them down online, which means we both spent portions of our life looking up pictures of people having sex with vermin. Let's always stay friends.
ReplyDeleteOur good friend Penis Head has this to say:
Dick says, Condoms are like a good bath. Once you're inside, you don't want to get out anymore.
To Suzanne: the ne/plus construction implies "no longer" or "anymore." Hence, once you have applied the condom you do not wish to take it off anymore. Thank you, Penis Head.
I had no idea that AIDES was started by Foucault's lover! MAN, I'm going to impress my activist friends AND my philosophical friends with that one!
I keep looking at "Dick says" and trying to figure out if his head is supposed to be soapy or diseased.
ReplyDeleteI believe it translates roughly to, "It's a trap!"
ReplyDeleteAV, You beat me to it. I can't repel firepower of that magnitude.
