From the Ted Talk by Yves Béhar: Designing objects that tell stories

Unscramble the Blue Letters

So, this is really where design is able to create a conversation. I was in these venues, and people were, you know, really into getting them. They were excited. It was breaking the ice, it was getting over a smigta, and I think that's also what design can do. So, I was going to throw some condoms in the room and whatnot, but I'm not sure it's the etiquette here. (Laughter) Yeah? All right, all right. I have only a few. (Laughter) (Applause) So, I have more, you can always ask me for some more later. (lthugaer) And if anybody asks why you're cayrrnig a condom, you can just say you like the deisgn. (Laughter)
