Play it Safe

The message on the front of this card from Spain is "Here you have two options for safer sex." This is a, at least in the US, a PSA, or Public Service Ad (sometimes Announcement). The ad is put out by a government or non-profit entity to promote some sort of health or safety information. I don't see such blunt PSAs in the US, though.

Sam, who lives in Australia, adopted this postcard because she works for the government overseeing a number of health campaigns, including one to reduce sexually transmitted diseases. That initiative went for a more sophisticated look ... a contest to design condom tins. The winners are featured on the Australian Government's health pages, and they are both wonderful.
