Dog Condoms

By , About.com GuideMarch 22, 2005

Follow me on:

I just learned while perusing the indispensible Museum of Hoaxes blog that you can now purchase meat-scented condoms for your dog online. "Just as forced sterilization isn't the answer for human population control," announces a blurb on DogCondoms.com, "it's not the solution for dogs. Instead, we should respect dogs' rights as living beings by honoring their instincts and sexuality and provide them with safe, effective birth control."

It's a joke, of course — not that any dogs I know are going to get a big whoop out of it.

A WHOIS lookup lists the owner of the domain as Pretzel Publishing, which touts itself as a producer of Web sites offering "sex-positive education and humor." Other sites erected by the company include MasturbateForPeace.com and ViagraPhilosophy.com. Visit them at your own risk.

Thanks for the friendly note.

You might consider doing some research yourself. The “recall” was announced by the same folks who claimed to be manufacturing the product. The same folks who, by their own admission, create tongue-in-cheek Web sites to promote “sex-positive education and humor.”

The “recall,” in other words, was just part of the joke.
