Bogus condoms a Trojan horse
BY KERRY BURKE and DAVE GOLDINER

It is one of the strangest cases of buyer beware - fake Trojan Magnum condoms are flooding bodegas in Harlem.
The counterfeit condoms have been sold for weeks at corner delis and groceries, even though the condom-maker has tried to stamp out the practice.
The packaging looks identical to the real thing, but the imitations come in flimsy plastic wrap instead of the sturdier aluminum foil that surrounds authentic Magnums.
The fakes are smaller than the real thing and have a sweet perfume smell that the originals don't.
"It's not right, but what can you do about it?" said Badu Sall, 22, of Harlem. "When you need condoms quick, you buy them where you can."
The Daily News had no trouble finding the apparently bogus rubbers in several delis uptown.
"I use that brand. It's crazy," said Fotupapa Lo, 34, a barber from Harlem. "The ones I use are not that small - and they don't smell funny."
The manufacturer said it has moved aggressively to prevent stores from selling counterfeit rubbers and to buy from reputable suppliers.
"We urge consumers to buy Magnum brand condoms from trusted retailers," parent company Church & Dwight said in a statement released yesterday. "We cannot vouch for the safety and efficacy of counterfeit products."
Bodega owner Sallah Alqublani insisted he cleared all the fake condoms off his shelves after being notified by the maker of Trojans.
Still, the condoms he sold at the Star Deli on W. 116th St. yesterday showed telltale signs of being phonies.
"I had no idea," Alqublani, 31, said. "We took everything down and bought new stuff."

***When you cop… make sure the letters on the box are raised ala your birth certificate seal…lol.
*** Make sure the aluminum wrapper is thick and tough instead of light and flimsy.
I ain’t gon talk shit like my nickname is long dong silver or anything but Magnums saved a nigga. Regular sized joints make your penis feel like you got an anaconda wrapped around that bitch. It lessens the chance of the m shits breaking and you can actually feel something!!! I don’t know whose penis was the prototype for the pre-magnum sized condoms but that dude don’t fit my template.
May 30, 2007 @ 8:41 am
Fake Magnums?… Cmon man that just take the cake right there. Now when a nigga buy condoms he gotta check to see is real like its a Dooney&Burke…WTF.
May 30, 2007 @ 8:48 am
if you buy mags on the regular…. its pretty easy to tell the difference… you should be already used to the packaging.
WRAP IT UP!
oh and by the way… GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!!

Yeah but what do you do when you atre on the way home to smash something and you are stumbling drunk ? You figure its bad enough that you are drinking and driving so your main focus is getting home to put in work. You think you are being responsible by using any sort of condom at that point and you gotta get okey doked at the 24 hour bodega ? I know one thing, if I had a fucked up baby momma I would be suing Trojan to pay my fucking child support since I took "all the precautionary steps to minimze the threat of pregnancy and disease"…
May 30, 2007 @ 9:47 am
I ain’t seen a condom in 4 years…lol

What good sex without the wet spot to remind you in the morning ???
But that wetspot can’t be "me" though….

So Trojan….
What you gon do about niggas trying to bite your style and shame yo name son ???
Niggas is out there tryna duplicate you son… like you some type of facsimile or something….
I think its the "Lifestyle Lady" or the "Durex Don"….
I better get credit on the comic book and movie….
I can see it now…
TROJAN MAN…. The Harlem Diaries…
Durex Don and Lifestyles Lady have teamed up with the Rough Riders to spread public fear of Trojan Man…
I think we got a ghetto money maker in effect…

yeah.. you right…
But as long as the puddle is majority her… I like to think of it as an accomplishment. The bigger the puddle the better. We can call it the "wet meter".
Just make sure she puts her panties back on…. I learned that one out the hard way…
May 30, 2007 @ 10:05 am
Well imma print this portion of the blog up, time stamp and all, just in case any of you blokes try to steal my idea without putting me down…
May 30, 2007 @ 10:08 am
Did this nigga just say blokes….
May 30, 2007 @ 10:10 am
Actually the truth is its more like this
Ruff Ryder smashed Lifestyles lady and got her ass pregnant dumb nga
she was already wifed up wit Durex Don
soon as he found out he broke up with the bitch
I was also hittin it on the Low
what can I say Ima sucker for Silver packaging plus she be buyin me sneakers wit the loot she gets from Durex
side note Never make a ho a housewife!
can’t trust none of these bitches!
Since she’s prego and lost he sugar daddy and Ruff Riders is a broke ass dirty nga! She tryna claim the babies mine
but everyone knows my rep so she’s putting out fakes to cash in on my name and make everyone think I could be the daddy
So now Im takin the bitch on Maury to prove Im not the daddy
end of story
May 30, 2007 @ 10:17 am
Yeah… thats my new shit….
"What up bloke"….
My favorite movie is Clockwork Orange and if anybody ain’t seen that lemme put yall niggas on… its a classic. Real violent but you really gotta pay attention because the language they use is outta control…lol.
in-out in-out = sex
droog = friend,homie
cutter = money
May 30, 2007 @ 10:21 am
theres really nothing for me to elaborate on- the vibrating mechanism in both the condom and the ring provides a high level of clitoral stimulation, hence providing an above par orgasmic expricnce.
and sorry my titties got enough shine this weekend- they need to recoup.
May 30, 2007 @ 10:22 am
What up niggas? I see yall got it crunk in here first thing this morning, LOL.

tj- yes, the condom version and the regular ring version both feel very good for both the man and the woman. give them a try.
ihadno- i’m sure you could use a bullet on the balls- dont know what exactly it will do fora dude without a chick present- but hey, you never know.

Nah.. I’m good…lol… I was just kidding.
I am original man and I don’t need all the new technology to cream heavily on a broads epidermis. No machine can the soft supple feel of a womans hands and fingertips. I’d go for nothing rather than a cheap imitation.
A bullet on my balls wouldn’t do me anything because my balls are like the cherry on top of the banana split… Cherries with no ice cream wouldn’t be the same.
May 30, 2007 @ 11:01 am
ihadno: you stupid LOL.
I gotta agree though. I find the toy stuff amusing, but any one I ever bought was just for sport, and most of em (when my best friend was selling em) I ended up selling back to her (unused of course LOL)…. nothing like the basics of a man and a woman. I aint real big on the props. Except my hula hoop.
May 30, 2007 @ 11:02 am

Masturbating is just a quick fix. There are no pools of bodily fluid soaked up on the sheets. The room doesn’t have that "sexy" smell to it. There is no arousal seing your partner geting her face plastered on the headboard.
Toys and masturbating are like big ass rims and systems in a nice car… all for show. They don’t help in the perfomance or the longevity of the car. All they do is look nice as an add on. But when you step on that gas, the rims and system have nothing to do with what under that hood…
POW !!
May 30, 2007 @ 11:17 am
@CJP
You was just dealing wit someone who was talkin out their ass
toys are good assistants not replacements unless that robot theory from yesterday comes tru
May 30, 2007 @ 11:20 am
It was chick that I worked with… Always talking that bullshit… I usually didnt say nothing but I had to get at her with that shit…
i.e. Military women are EASY…. please believe me.
May 30, 2007 @ 11:20 am
ihadno: I dont know about that one…. the hardest nut I’ve ever cracked was one I gave myself, LOL. It might be different for men but for women, masturbating can be an entire experience LOL…..
Im just sayin. :smilebig:

i’m with dig…. nothing is the same as a man- (that is until they invent a toy that talks dirty and spanks you on command lol) but you would be surprised the stuff you learn about yourself when thats all you got to get off.. directing yourself (with or without an inatimate aid) is waaayy easier than tryin to direct someone else.
May 30, 2007 @ 11:34 am
@DIG…
Damn.. I don’t even know how to respond to that. If your best nut was done by yourself then what you wasting your time with us for ???
If 5 of my top 10 "nut busteses" were acheived on my own than life would be so much easier for a nigga… I would only have to put in half to achieve the same goal. Thats sex efficient right there. Why chase cooch when you got the world at "the palm of your hands"…
I should be so lucky !!

Hey what you talking bout… the best head I got was from a black chick. But the nastiest chick i ever had was a white girl….
May 30, 2007 @ 11:37 am
‘Damn.. I don’t even know how to respond to that. If your best nut was done by yourself then what you wasting your time with us for ???’
Hence the reason I dont fuck wit yall like that LMAOOOOOO…. I have a hard time with ‘casual sex’ for that very reason. If Im fuckin wit you like that its cause Im REALLY fuckin wit you.
May 30, 2007 @ 11:38 am
Funny thought
since yall both like the rough type
is their anything thing a man might say that would make you stop and kick that nga out
other than another chicks name
Like if I smackin you on the ass and callin you a cum dumpster if it feels good would still make me stop for disrespecting you?!
May 30, 2007 @ 11:41 am
cum dumpster
Every time you say that shit its funny
May 30, 2007 @ 11:43 am
But the nastiest chick i ever had was a white girl….
30/05 11:37:06
Thats cuz white girls are like anatomically correct fuck dolls
even if what your doing hurts they’re gonna say shit till their in the police precint filing a report
black girls are just as nasty they just go bullsht hangups that make ngz hold back where a white chick is like sure
and your thinkin
Normally I wouldn’t do this but…….keep the party going
May 30, 2007 @ 11:45 am
’since yall both like the rough type’
Who said that? LOL
But I will answer the question anyway. During sex, I give a nigga an all-access pass…. call me whatever you want as long as we still ‘in character’ cause Im probably callin you everything but a child of God too LOL. He might say some other dumb shit though that just fucks everything up… the worst for me is a nigga that talks TOO much. Dont say or ask me nothing that requires more than a 2 word response. And PLEASE dont be on that ‘who’s your daddy’ shit when you been pounding away for 20 minutes and Im laying there filing my nails and watching Jamie Fox rerun on the TV. I cant stand a nigga that think he doing something when he not and please believe me when I say I WILL LAUGH and tell you to get off me.
May 30, 2007 @ 11:45 am
Yeah there is no doubt that black women are just as nasty..

There are just somethings that we as a race have to accept. We , overall, are not as open about sex as other races. Of course there are individuals that get down but If I had the oppurtunity to have sex with 100 white women, I could classify 81 of them as "anything goes" whereas that number is not even close with black women. I’ve had to turn down white women on the ass play and I don’t think I’ve even had a black woman ask me for ass play
Not to fuck up the mood or anything but one of my homies got shot out in MIA on Monday….. Lessli Paz (never even knew his real name because we used to call him "goat"
.
Check the link.

May 30, 2007 @ 11:55 am
yeah, i think ‘cum dumpster’ would warrent an "ok,i’m done" response. theres not really anthing that i can think of that is out of bounds- as long as we are still playing the dirty talk game…i take that back- i think anything with: diseased, fat, jump off, lets get another woman, you remind me of my mother, or fuck me with your dildo (unless i’m the one saying it)would put a damper on the situation.

Good lookin Chevy.
I just heard that his mother has to fly out there and identify the body and that Fat Joe is gon pay for everything. I haven’t heard anything other than there were some words being said and then a fist fight broke out and this nigga decides to start shooting and goat took one to the chest. He was a lil dude too so that slug really meant something. Imma find out more when I get back around my way. Now we all feel guilty because we fell like things could have been different if some of us made the trip….
