Student condom testers

A Brit firm thinks they’ve figured out how to get Uni students off their couches – pay them to get into bed.

Condomi are planning to pay students £100 a term to test their bed side lamps.

Only joking, you think a firm called Condomi would make bed side lamps?

The condom manufacturers have been filling airwaves of student radios with ads for their schemes starting last Friday.

The criteria for being signed up is that you have to be in a relationship already, but sexuality doesn’t matter.

"We are always looking for ways to improve our condoms, so using the feedback from eager consumers seems an ideal opportunity of testing every aspect of our performance,” said a spokey.

"Test results will be fed back to our research and development department, and we hope that the students who participate will both enjoy the testing and the money, and give us a frank response which we can use for product development.

"I don't think we will have to look far for our new employees."

The downside to testing condoms is obviously being the unlucky one that gets given the faulty products - £100 a term won’t cover that, will it?
