The oddest promotional gimmick ever?

Subject: The oddest promotional gimmick ever?

I just got my WJHU mail, and there was something from 415 Records.
I opened up the envelope, and there was a tiny envelope inside,
with a bright orange sticker reading, "Until December and W.A.R.D.
mean Safe Sex.

(Until December, by the way, are a gay disco group on 415.)

Inside the envelope was a "Prime Lubricated" condom!  Can you
imagine all the college music directors in America getting condoms
from a record company?  Odd indeed...
