you're a shmoopsie-poo!!!
the first thing i thought was: "disney makes condoms? that's disturbing." the second thing i thought was, "it's even more disturbing that my mom would leave disney condoms lying around!"
thankfully, they are not condoms. they are disney pins packaged as if they were condoms. one pin even says: "mr. incredible... i work alone." yes, i know it's in reference to a cartoon, but how can you not see the double entendre? this is akin to bubble gum packaged as chewing tobacco, or chocolate packaged as cigarettes. didn't anyone stop to say to production or marketing, "you know, this might sound crazy, but it kind of looks like we're giving away condoms. which might be a little weird given that our target audience is between the ages of 4 and 12." i'm all for sex education, but i'm just not sure i want mickey mouse to be the spokesperson. though, the one-eyed monster (featured on my pin, above)... well, that makes sense.
