While killing some time in our friendly neighborhood drug store, we happened to wander into the contraceptive aisle (that’s totally how it happened). As we scanned the many rows of condoms, our eyes fell upon a different sort of contraceptive: the Today Sponge.
Briefly made (in)famous by a certain episode of “Seinfeld,” the Today Sponge is, well, a spermicide soaked sponge that ladies can insert into their hoohas to prevent the babymaking. Which is all well and good (unless you happen to have a sensitivity to nonoxynol-9, but that’s another story entirely).
However: we can’t help but wonder who designed the sponge’s new packaging, and what, pray tell, they were going for. Are we only the ones who look at that packaging and see echos of Steve Madden and the Bratz?

I also see shades of Stuart Patterson, an artist that did a lot of illustrations for a lot of magazines back in the day. He also was commissioned to do a lot of Naked Music’s (a deep house music label) early artwork–painting dozens and dozens of naked women, of course, because no one’s going to buy a single or an album with a naked man on it.

March 3rd, 2008 at 4:50 pmI don’t like sponges for the simple fact that they do not protect against STIs. Of course, when has that ever been a priority amongst America’s youth?
