Advertising: Nuns and condoms don't mix

It's amazing to think that some suited prat more than likely wearing a blue shirt and yellow tie, came up with the whiz bang idea of producing an anti-AIDS advert featuring a nun holding a condom.

The ad in Taiwan featured a nun stating "Although I don't need one, even I know."

Not surprisingly the ad drew protests from local Catholics, forcing the advert to be withdrawn from all condom machines in Taipei hospitals, subway stations and other sites.
