We Love a Good Bang

Popnography

The sale of a condom manufacturer wouldn't normally be worthy of mention (unless it was to The Vatican), but since we love safe sex (did you just see the responsible message here? It's because we love you) and because we love an infantile joke even more, here we go.

Durex is set to be sold to Reckitt Benckiser and they happen to own the cleaning product line Cillit Bang. Bang! Funny, right? Oh, well ... we liked it.

Though we advise you to not think of that the earnest buttoned-down Cillit Bang ad guy when you're doing it, or you'll wilt like an old flower in August. They really need to hire someone sexier from now on.

‘Friends’ Lesbian Wedding Was ‘Blocked Out’ by Certain Affiliaties
Friends is straight culture, that's not something we're arguing, but it did feature a few queer characters -- however problematically they were portrayed.
