In a convention center full of stress-ball-frisbee-penguin giveaways (and goddamn goofy looking pirate hats), the subtlest and most wasted on the nerd crowd is from a Romanian company.

BitDefender, an antivirus software company, is giving away small boxes with their logo and advice to “secure your every bit.” Inside the box is a condom and a set of instructions.

The pullout information/instruction sheet for the condom is a well-written goof on their computer virus security product, indicating stuff like the BitDefender prophylactic is licensed for only one installation and for use on only one “terminal” at a time. As a extension of the virus metaphor it’s well executed (not surprising it’s not a U.S. company).

Further, on close examination of the fine print, I discovered that the condom was made in Malaysia (much like a certain man I know). At my surprise and amusement over this fact, I was informed that in fact most condoms come from Malaysia, the world’s largest exporter of rubber and latex.

You’re never too old to learn.
