Holy prophylactics, Batman! In a recent online marketing campaign, Durex asked Facebook fans to vote on which city should get SOS Condoms, a service meant to allow amorous-but unprepared-couples to use a smart-phone app or laptop for a rush delivery. The voters chose Batman (pronounced baat-maan), the capital of an oil-rich and conservative-Muslim province in southeastern Turkey. Social media experts say the contest was almost certainly decided by Internet trolls. Batman received 1,577 votes, besting Paris and London, according to the contest's Facebook page, which has been dormant since the two-month promotion finished in April.
