There are few things in this life that get my fat ass out of bed and inspire me to go on a rampage of excitement. Anything to do with alcohol, glitter, food, sex and elephants. I know what you're thinking.... elephants? What's wrong with this person? Okay, so maybe you're thinking something less savory than that but, in any case, and elephant is what did it this evening.

I have a sort of kinship to the over sized and gentle dwellers of this planet. Elephants are intimidating yet graceful, large but gentle and powerful with a sense of calm. You could imagine my excitement when I stumbled across an advertisement for condoms featuring an elephant proudly sporting a hot pink condom on it's trunk....... That last sentence is where we all came together, wasn't it? And yes, pun intended. You may as well want to just go ahead and count how many times I do that.

San Diego is home to Trunk Health Products, a company that is whimsically advocating safe sex and a healthy man appendage with 'Trunk Condoms.' The deliberate package is ingenious. Not only are the condoms flesh toned and lubed up for your pleasure but, they are significantly cheaper than your standard Trojan, selling at $7.99 for a pack of twelve and currently running a promotion for $5.99. It truly is cheap to have junk on your trunk.

I wonder if the promotional price was in lew of Gay Pride celebrations, since all we gay men do for the entire months of June and July is... well, you get the picture. I have on good faith that Trunk Condoms will be making a cameo at this year's Pride festivities in San Diego to distribute and promote. Who knows, they could be a growing member in the world of safe sex.

All I know is they had me at the elephant and I have already purchased the economy pack and a T-shirt to wear to my next family function. If the t-shirt doesn't get the shock value I am looking for, I guess I'll just tell them I am wearing the economy pack as well.
