Popping culture: Airplane safety instructions take an interesting turn in Poland

We’ve all been there. You get on a plane, sit down and listen to the announcements. Please wear your seatbelts, no smoking, an oxygen mask, inflate this, blah blah.

In a time when advertising dollars are being pushed into new and more interactive ways, Durex Poland found a way to make their skies perhaps a bit more friendly. They shot the advertisement on a commercial flight in Poland, planting condoms in the airplane for everyone to try out and learn how to put on, with wryly smiling stewardesses educating the masses.
