Lie back and think of England?


I'm not particularly interested in the Royal Family, I have never understood why people treat them the way they do, buying mugs with their pictures on or queuing to catch a glimpse of them. However, each to their own. I do have a sort of respect for them, in the sense that the Queen, rightly or wrongly has a degree of authority and I honour that, not particularly for her sake, but more because I think respect is a good thing in society and if we don't respect others then we probably don't respect ourselves.

Anyway, that is rather rambling and irrelevant, but I am trying to explain that I hope that the brand of condoms on this page is a hoax, because if it isn't then is disrespectful: (h/t Gurdur)

To celebrate the engagement of Prince William of Wales to Ms. Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction has commissioned a unique heritage edition Royal Wedding Souvenir boƮte de capotes.
 
Combining the strength of a Prince with the yielding sensitivity of a Princess-to-be, Crown Jewels condoms promise a royal union of pleasure. Truly a King amongst Condoms.
Presented in a timeless souvenir heirloom collector's box.
 
  • Contains three individually wrapped condoms.
  • Includes a collectable portrait of the Royal Couple as they might appear on their wedding day – exclusively created for Crown Jewels.
