Measuring condoms: 'Is it smaller or larger than my mate's?'

I so do not understand men. That's to say, I totally understand them, and it makes me roll my eyes in judgmental annoyance. Case in point: "measuring stick condoms."

I love that one of the tag lines for these is "Is it smaller or larger than my mate's?" I also love that the concept has been demonstrated on a banana -- 8th grade health class style. Now there's finally a product for all those (apparently British) boys who want to measure their penises accurately. We're talking within centimeters here.

In all fairness, these condoms -- should anyone who's not twelve years old every buy them -- would answer the age old debate: where you measure from? Ever man I've ever had the pleasure of partaking in a size conversation with has been quick to point out that deciding where to place the back end of your ruler can have a profound impact on the resulting number. Boys, you know whichever way you measure it won't actually get bigger, right?
