As we all know, using a condom during sex is one of the safest way to avoid making women pregnant. It also helps to avoid getting HIV(human immunodeficiency virus) or some other diseases which are known as infectious diseases. The diffusion of Condom is one of our issues as we can tell there are tons of condom ads all over the world.

Two condom commercials which I came up with writing this blog are telling viewers how important using a condom is. However they have different approaches to appeal us the value and the importance of condoms. First commercial opens with a boy asking his father to buy him sweeties at a supermarket. His father keeps refusing it, and the boy starts yelling and crying. He also throws some products on the floor and makes his father in trouble. A lot of customers at the supermarket look at his father, so the viewer can tell how much he gets annoyed from the boy. At the end of this commercial, his father finds out that he should have used condom not to have the boy. Second commercial opens with a guy on the way to meet his girlfriend. He seems excited about meeting her by setting tons of mascots which are imagined as sperms right after him. When the guy finally saw his girlfriend, he smiled and was going to come to her, and he is cut off by the sperm mascots. However, those sperm mascot are covered with a huge condom at the end of this commercial.

When I saw the first commercial, I felt ironic because the father found out that he needs to use condom after he got his annoying son so that the father did not have to have him in his life. However, it could happen to all of us if we don’t use a condom right. This commercial appeals the possibility of not having kids if we use a condom safely during sex. The second commercial shows the viewers that we tend to be swayed things by our emotions. So, we should definitely use condoms during sex, or we might end up horrible and unwanted results such as having kids or diseases. I think both commercials successfully illustrate the needs of condoms.
