And now, a word or two about condoms from our scholars (?) of law By
the USU Communication Department
For extra credit on a test in the mass media law class offered by the Utah State University communication department, students were asked to name a make-believe condom company. The issue of law was: Under what circumstances can a state-owned medium of mass communication refuse to accept advertising for a legal product? In the hypothetical case given by professors, the condom company was refused advertising time on the cable television system that serves the campus of USU. However, in the same scenario, the TV system already had accepted ads for Playboy magazine. The students had to sort out the issues of case law on the subject, and then were offered the chance for a small amount of extra credit. Some of the printable names devised by the law students were: • Cloak and Dagger Condom Co. • Buried Treasure Condom Co. • Tupperware Underwear Condom Co. • Not Your Pop's Prophylactics Condom Co. • Night Caps Condom Co. • Full Coverage Condom Co. • I/Da/Ho Condom Co. • State of the Union Condom Co., tested and approved by the White House and Congress. • Rock 'n' Roll-On Condom Co. • Up and At 'Em Enterprises • Whoopee Wear Condom Co. • GetMor Condom Co. • CondomNation Condom Co. • Sack-It Condom Co. Who says the law has to be dull?
