A Chinese condom manufacturer, Elasun, is celebrating the Olympics in a refined, elegant and classy way: with clever Olympic themed condom advertisements.

The ads show athletic stick men with condoms in place of various sports apparatuses such as basketball nets, bicycle wheels, archery targets and gymnastic rings, explains the Trendhunter article.  The most creative of the series of ads? The ribbed condom  used to symbolize the water surface in swimming.

Elasun’s slogan, translated into English, is “Sports make you health.”

In the closing of the Trendhunter article, the author says,  “The Telegraph (UK) reported that “Olympic villages are reputed to be hotbeds of after-hours indulgence”. At both the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, thousands of free condoms were handed out to athletes and officials.”

What do you think of these ads? Are they good condom ad?  We have all seen hilarious condom ads over the years; how do these measure up?
