I was in an Australian pub for lunch with Stephen and Jenny after the movie (happy belated Australia Day!) and there is a poster in the women's toilet with misleading information. There is a cartoon of a woman looking mildly distraught and the text says something along the lines of "Think carrying a condom is awkward? Imagine having herpes."
Okay. True. A condom can protect you from herpes on a penis or along the vaginal walls. BUT IT WON'T PROTECT YOU AGAINST EXTERNAL HERPES! If a man say has a herpes sore on his testicles, that condom won't work as a barrier. Perhaps this seems obvious. Perhaps the intention was to frighten women into using a condom so as not to acquire an incurable disease.
It still bothers me.
I couldn't find the poster, but I did find a UK site with posters. Check out the female "have you been given any gifts lately?" because I do find that funny.
