The count down to the new Watchmen movie from the visionary director of “300” is winding down and only  a few weeks away. As the release date nears, you’ll start to notice it everywhere as they hype up the movie.

Earlier this week I read about an unusual promotional product for the upcoming movie.  It was a matchbook that had a blue condom in it with the quote “We’re Society’s Only Protection“.  Get it, get it… that’s an awesome promotional product.  I first saw this on WatchmenComicMovie.com.

You can be just like Dr. Manhattan in color, at least in one area.

I personally think this is a great marketing ploy and I would love to get my hands on one.  Whether you like it or not, something controversial like this will usually get some buzz.  From a marketing standpoint I think it gets the job done creating a buzz from lovers and haters.

The excitement for the movie is building and I’m looking forward to seeing this graphic novel on the big screen.

The Watchmen are watching over us in bed.
