One Direction have apparently refused to be the 'faces' of condoms

  • December 6, 2012
  • Owen Myers

One Direction have decided against selling 'birth control' with their faces on.

According 'a source' quoted in the Daily Star, "the offer was enormous".

Apparently they were offered quite a lot of money, too.

The 'source' continues: "It came from one of the biggest brands in the world [VOLVO????] and even tied into a safe sex organ­isa­tion in the US. The boys remain very candid about sup­port­ing the use of condoms if asked in interviews.”

Taking the high road in this matter, Daily Star have accom­pan­ied the story with a picture of Taylor Swift.

Well done everyone.
