A Brazilian condom company has started a viral marketing scheme in which they randomly select men on Facebook and create a fake profile of their unborn sons. The son then sends a friend request to the soon-to-be freaked out guy with a little message that says “Avoid surprises like this one. Use Olla condoms.”
