We here at Destructoid are responsible people.
While we love to give away amazingly fun prizes, we also realize that sometimes these rewards aren’t suitable for real-life, emergency situations.
Take this scenario, for example: You are sitting by a crackling fire with your new girlfriend. The two of you are sharing the SNES controller while you play through a dramatic game of Final Fantasy VI (I know, best girlfriend EVER!). Suddenly, the opera scene begins and the tantalizing MIDI tunes start to tickle you in just the right way. Coincidentally, as this is all happening your girlfriend decides to get up and change out of her cactaur pajama pants and into some see-through chocobo lingerie. Oh, God. That copy of Mirror’s Edge you just won off the site won’t help you out in this situation, will it?
Enter (pun intended) the official Destructoid condom.
While I could write a book about how amazing Niero is for even coming up with this idea, I will just say that receiving one of these in the mail last week solidified why I love working here. Other videogame Web sites claim to have their finger on the social pulse of the world, but how many offer a product that, literally, screams: “F*ck you, AIDS. F*ck you!” It doesn’t get more real than that, folks.
Do you want to join the “punch AIDS in the face” movement? Be the 69th commenter and you will win a pack of five of these babies (or baby-preventers, technically). Best prize ever? Just ask your girlfriend.
