A representative for Trojan condoms said yesterday that the company would no longer advertise on the “Opie & Anthony” show on a CBS-owned FM station in New York after a guest on another version of the show, on XM satellite radio, mused about sexually assaulting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, leading to a vulgar discussion.
“The Trojan brand is committed to advancing the sexual health of those who choose to be sexually active,” James Daniels, vice president of marketing for Trojan condoms, a division of the Church & Dwight Company, said in a statement. “The recent comments made on the ‘Opie & Anthony’ show are inconsistent with that commitment.”
Trojan is the second advertiser in a week to announce it was withdrawing advertising from the so-called terrestrial radio version of “Opie & Anthony,” broadcast weekday mornings in New York on WFNY-FM (92.3), before the version heard only on XM. On May 4 a representative from the New York State Lottery said that it would discontinue its commercials on the FM show after a comedian who is a regular guest could be heard asking, “Would it be possible, could you whistle ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ while I rape a girl?”
