This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

That shop
Air pumps that wont. Cycle mirrors that dont fit the handle bar. Toilet paper so soft your fingers go thru. Shampoo that gives meaning to the words 'Sham' and 'Poo'. Stereo headphones with an obscure jack plug. Clothing line pegs that break after 5 minutes on the line. The false economy of Poundland should be obvious to everyone by now. Buying a £1 pack of condoms and presenting them to the Burka'd cashier is definitely worth the money tho ho ho.

I thought it was marvellously Hirst-esque!

Effortlessly bridging the ideological gap between the societal molecularisation of Hirst and the art brut nihilism of Emin, daring to assume the idiosyncratic perennial disposability of a big bag of shite.

It asks important questions about the fragility of the human condition, certainly; offering us an almost cliched post-modernist lens through which we are invited to critique the concepts of the very nature we rely upon.

I thought it entered into an exciting and challenging dialogue with the emerging zeitgeist

The only thing I can think of is he has confused Islam with Catholicism,
but it seems unlikely to me that there is anyone who is that stupid, and is still able to (barely) write.

I think his thought process is
"This person is overtly religious, therefore will be uncomfortable if I imply I am sexually active, which will amuse me greatly."
Like I say, 11.

That's because your condoms worked properly.

Honestly I wouldn't use the condoms unless you want more offspring.

By which I mean, for fuck's sake, don't breed.

It's alright, he can concentrate all his energies on hammering illiterate spite into his keyboard for the Britain First forums.
