Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley Of Kiss To Be Featured On New Branded Condoms

NEW YORK -- A condom maker is taking the truism "sex sells" very literally.

A new line of the contraceptives puts advertising not just on the wrapper, but the latex itself.

Graphic Armor Inc.'s new Picture Condoms meet all FDA requirements and it claims they're the first to feature full-color images on the latex. They're starting with a condom branded with the rock band Kiss that shows Gene Simmons' tongue unfurled. Another Kiss version featuring bandmate Paul Stanley is slated for June.

Adam Glickman, CEO of condom retailer Condomania, says the creators are in talks with entertainment companies, energy drinks and designers to put logos and messages on the condoms.

They come in a 3-pack for $7.99.

Does unsafe sex have a sponsor?

KISS condoms? Makes sense marketing-wise. "Calling Dr.Love, Dr.Love, calling Dr. Love."

If a guy came at me with one of those creepy picture condoms, I'd ban him from my bed.

Putting Gene on a condom is less likely to promote safe sex and more likely to promote abstinence.

Many women will say that if a man has a tongue like that, no condom is needed.

Nice to know that Gene has no hang-ups with having his 'tongue' on an anonymous man's penis.

The only thing keeping Gene Simmons up at night is the inability to find a way to sell his soul. He's already sold everything else.

As long as no one is playing "I Was Made for Loving You" when they're about to use one. That would be the worst 70's porn/lounge lizard cliche ever.

This will insure that no one gets any, therefore creating safe-sex.

It's a good thing but for the one that wants it most.

This is kind of dumb because it will raise the price of condoms.
