Cool display... How funny would that be if they came to work one morning to find a few of the condoms missing? Ladies love the Armani clothes.

FupDuckTV nice to hear from you again. It looks lovely I agree! I'd like to know wether this is a one store display or if all the others have the same one too.

I personally find the display offensive and inappropriate. I recently was standing in line to order pizza when I looked at the display more closely and realized I was looking at pink condoms. Call me old fashioned, but I think it crosses the line just like a shirt I saw in another display window in the same mall last Halloween that said, "i vant to suck your boobs".
I have heard theologians and biblical scholars say they cannot find America mentioned in the scriptures as it relates to the "end times" Is this because we become a nation of complacent, lukewarm people all in the name of "tolerance"?

I think the project is a great way to bring attention to an important cause and support a national AIDS charity. Hopefully, it will inspire and remind people of the importance of AIDS awareness and prevention through education. I applaud Armani Exchange for bringing attention to AIDS prevention awareness.
Pizza at the mall - i mean really.....

I don't understand what your comment "pizza at the mall - i mean really" means. Are you saying you don't believe me that the store is located next to a pizza place inside the mall? If not, then call Armani Exchange at Barton Creek Mall in Austin, Texas and ask them.

And yet a suburban Detroit mall's management won't let the display be shown.

@MrDolomite Why am I not surprised...

Tasteless publicity stunt. Condom art? Great. Put it in a gallery, not in a mall where my 7-year-old daughter is.

While I understand parents' concerns for their underage children, it's a fact your children are growing up in this time. It can only lead to questions leading to educating them about life facts and pain and morbidity brought on by irresponsibility. The average patron in Armani Exchange is sexually active. It's like a movie you may not want them to see- don't take them to it. They can be lied to about imaginative holiday characters, but that won't do nearly the damage that lying to them about serious medical conditions will.
