This one may explain the reason behind the other ads and displays. Condom displays and advertising directed at Back To "College" make sense. Perhaps retailers make a condom killing this month, hense the heavy advertising and promoting.

Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store!

All but the top looked like they are aimed at college students. The top one is kind of weird 'cuz of the kid in the ad.

I know Trojan is a common brand, but it strikes me as odd that they are *all* trojan condoms; perhaps Trojan is paying for this product placement. Or maybe Trojan just happened to offer a discount and got lumped under the wrong heading.
It's been so long since I slept I can't tell

Personally I think this is great. With all the idiots out there promoting 'abstinence only sex education' it's good to see condoms being advertised towards teens, even if only incidentally. Cause lets face it there is no way to stop teens from fucking so wouldn't it be better to take the stygma off of buying rubbers?

I hope they go ahead and buy lots and lots of condoms. And use them.
I honestly don't see anything wrong with this.

I don't think it has to do with anti-abstinence... it's more than likely their way of adapting to the times - with pro-teen-pregnancy shows like "Teen Mom" & "Secret Life" effin glorifying teen pregnancy - it's about time they started merchandising condoms with their BTS stuff LOL seriously we have this nearby school that lets their 6,7, & 8th graders out for lunch... at an age where my friends & I had sleepovers & played with dolls these kids now are 1. glued their phones & 2. I've overheard more than one conversation about how "bobby hooked up with kelly" or some other gossip that shocks me kids know about this stuff at a younger & younger age.
It's sad kids can't be kids anymore.
