Company Advertises Unpaid Job as Condom Tester

Friday, July 06, 2007

MELBOURNE, Australia — A major condom brand said Friday it expected thousands of applicants for a new unpaid job on offer — condom tester.

Durex said 200 adult Australians — men and women — are wanted to test a range of its condoms.

While the successful applicants will not be paid, each will receive a pack of Durex sex products, a chance to win 1,000 Australian dollars ($857 U.S.), plus professional prestige, the company said in a statement.

"Who wouldn't want to have a chance with an actual authorized professional?" Durex marketing manager Sam White asked.

"Durex is expecting thousands of applicants," the statement said.

Hopefuls must explain in their applications why they would make "expert" condom testers.

How they test the condoms is not specified, but testers must provide honest feedback about how they find the products.

No deadline is set for evaluating a range of four condoms and other sex products.

Heh! I could get that job easy.

I have references.

I can't believe you said that JD! Did you make that up? It's good.

Down Under, the same question will result in someone handing you a roll of sticky tape! Durex is a brand of sticky tape, like Kleenex is to tissues.

In the US, supporters of their favourite sporting teams are usually asked which team do you ROOT for, BUT Australians usually have a good giggle over this as “ROOT is a word associated with getting laid sexually! The local word used in place of root is barrack; ie who do you barrack for?

A ball point pen is referred to as a "biro" in Australia ?

Light bulbs are called globes in Australia ?"

I think Americans use the word 'rubber' which here means the little rubber erasers.

SO kids in school would be saying to each other "can I borrow your rubber"?

No in the UK we say rubber (for little eraser thingys), in USA they say erasers. Something I should of explained to my son when we first moved to the states - cos asking for a 'rubber' at the age of 8 years go alot of laugh from his classmates and a very shocked looked from his teacher. :-6

Nuff said.

That doesn't matter. When you represent a country, you represent its people and its standards./ethics/values/morals, like it or not. He's an infidel (like so many others, granted) and if he wanted it kept private, he should have had his wife do it instead of stepping out on his vows and her. I don't trust people with such shoddy morals so I sure don't want that kind of person representing me.

That's all I have to say about it. No more threadjacking from me.

Only me would have my thread jacked by two experienced threadjackers.

The thrill is gone.

Oops- I forgot this was your thread, JD.

We were having a Magenta & RedGlitter Moment there, weren't we?

Won't happen again.
