Hell Pizza was an awesome pizza franchise when I was last in Kiwiland. Not sure if it still is, cause it's been brought out by some big company.

There will be great eating, and chomping with teeth.

Man I hope the condoms were at least still in their original packages.

I'll take one Mordor and one Nemesis, please.
Oh, and while you're add it, I'll have a Demon pasta.

I'm hungry... :(

Oh my God.

:p

"What happens when you're seven years old and you find something in (the letterbox) and you ask your mother or father, 'What's this?"

OH NOES! THEY MIGHT BE PERMANENTLY SCARRED BY REALISING THAT THEIR PENIS ACTUALLY HAS A USE!!!

I really don't understand this sort of idiocity.

Meh.

:p

This prompted hundreds of complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority, which ruled Hell breached standards of decency and social responsibility.

Promoting safe sex in an ERA of STDs like AIDS is acting against social responsibility ?

LEt alone the idea that a 7 year old wouldn't actually know what a condom is.
I suppose there must be some out there who don't.

somewhere.

maybe.

Hell should tell all its patrons to boycott Church. Or offer free pizza and condom on Sundays for any praticising Catholic.
"Instead of going to Church, go to Hell. The bread's much better!"

I like this idea. Awesome. :D

I saw this thread,and thought "Teh fuck?Catholics supported hell?"

Doesn't someone like Harlesburg or Monkeypimp work at Hell?

If so, maybe that's the real reason the Catholic Church is wanting to boycott.

Yeah I work at hell, I've been there for fking ages. My last day is this sunday. I used to play cricket with the local presbyterian church minister and he was fine with buying stuff from us. But then he was also fine with gay civil unions. Silly catholics.

They will now. The condoms came with explicit instructions

I'll try and track one down at work tomorrow and see how explicit they actually are. I saw one a while back, and I don't remember them being too bad.

Funnily enough, a few days ago on the last day of school (for this year) I pranked called Hell, pretended to be a Catholic:D

Its not like they won't learn that in a few years anyway,

It's meant to be wrapped in it's original packaging until marriage!

You mean a Kiwi?
Monkeypimp* does, i just eat the Pizza's.

*Work, i think we'll use the term liberally.:p

Who has their children open the post?

Lazy christians, clearly.

Personally I prefer Dominos, it is much closer to where I live (fifteen minutes walking distance as opposed to half an hour), and those vouchers on the back of your receipts (at least if you shop at Progressive Supermarkets) mean you can get a good pizza for $6.90.

Also, many families that I know of have the kids take the post in, when I was younger, I used to take the post in as well.

Bleh, Dominos is terrible. It tastes like mass production. *nod*

"What happens when you're seven years old and you find something in (the letterbox) and you ask your mother or father, 'What's this?"'

You inform them what it is and is for like RESPONSIBLE ADULTS for the love of god they are boycotting because they are uncomfortable explaining safety and sex to their kids?

They're Catholics!
Of course they're uncomfortable explaining sex!

They only do it cause the Pope tells them they have to.
It's not like they enjoy it or anything. They're not meant to at any rate.

Yes what do you do if your 7 year old child find a condom in the mail and asks what it is?!

"It's a condom"
"What's a condom?"
"Something I wish I had 8 years ago".

And now they come with pizzas, apparently.

I'd be pretty surprised to find out that those sneaky bastards at Hell Pizza weren't planning on a bunch of Catholics flipping out. This will probably do more advertising for their business than air dropping condoms into Wellington.

Almost certainly. And that is sad.
Not that they used the Catholics for this, but that such a response actually occured.

I didn't have the slightest clue what a condom was until I was maybe 14 or 15. Of course, it never occurred to me that it was physically possible for unmarried people to have sex until I was around 13, so I would guess that I'm probably not at the norm.

To be fair, what have the cathloics not boycotted?

It's quite an obvious thing to do, really. Maybe we should hijack this hell place by sticking up Bible verses.

What we figured out pretty much straight away at work has seemingly gone straight over the head of almost everyone. Namely, what you said.

For everyone else still trying to figure out what Hell were doing:

How much would a condom drop like this cost?
How much does advertising at the top of the hour on the two main 6pm news shows cost?
How much does radio advertising, newspaper advertising etc cost?

Which one of those things did hell have to pay for, and which did they get free? And they've done it all only pissing off people who aren't in their target demagraphic. The media and 'morals' groups are pretty easy to manipulate when you know how...
