One Direction to sue 'One Erection' condoms

It may be a hilarious pun, but the US makers of "One Erection" condoms are set to be slapped with a lawsuit from One Direction's management.

The packaging features five cartoon condoms representing the band members. And the fun continues in the product blurb:

"Stay 'UP ALL NIGHT' with these FDA approved ONE ERECTION condoms. There is only one direction to go with these babies and that is UP!" Wow, these people really committed to the 1D theme!

The cheeky contraception.

At 300USD for 1,000 condoms, they're a steal. The boy band themselves reportedly had a laugh and joked about buying some. Of course they would!

But the bigwigs at their label are failing to see the funny side and believe the condom makers Ripnroll are "cashing in on [the band's] sex-symbol status," according to an insider.

"They are considering bringing in lawyers to stop them shamefully exploiting the band to sell condoms,” the insider adds. Looks like One Erection might be gone, er, prematurely…
