It’s 11/11 — Singles Day! In honor of that, here’s the latest from Studio Output, an ad for — what else? — Durex.

From Studio Output’s Jim Fields on the video description page:

Even single animals still have fun, and just because you are on your own doesn’t mean you’re not sexy. Be happy and remember, even if you are not single forever you can have fun forever. Share the Love on Singles Day, from your friends at Durex China.

Watch these wild animals and… be inspired? Not completely sure. Share the Love!

Durex Learns You’re Not Allowed To Photoshop A Condom Into Xi Jinping’s Breast Pocket

Those wonderful viral marketers at Durex — who were responsible for this ad that implied Barack Obama has a bigger penis than Mitt Romney — sprinkled some photoshop magic to one particular photo of Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan that’s been making the rounds.

In the original – somewhat lampooned because China’s First Lady is using an iPhone – Xi Jinping definitely does not have a condom in his breast pocket. Eric Jou, the Kotaku correspondent in Beijing who recently joined Twitter, captured the above screenshot before censors nuked it off Sina Weibo.

On the one hand, we’re playing right into the (probably cruddy, gummed) hands of Durex’s marketing department by reposting this. On the other, we do hate censorship, so… here it is. Shanghaiist has it too.

By the way, censors don’t want you searching for “Peng Liyuan iPhone,” either. Goddamn censors.

Today is World Health Day, and to commemorate, the creative, slightly mischievous folk over at Durex have just released this commercial featuring Mike Sui — he of the many dialects — in a dinosaur costume.

Also making an appearance is Wushu World Champion and Jet Li stunt double Alfred Hsing – he’s the muscly man — who we last saw producing this funny, dark, disturbing kung-fu video.

Stay safe out there, kids.
