Two, medication issues. Antibiotics are the big ones, but there are apparently other medications that can also render the birth control pill inert and useless. Many women forget to mention to their doctor/pharmacist that they are on a pill and disclosure can be forgotten/overlooked.
Three, and this is the very scary one for guys. Some women, granted VERY few, ovulate twice per month. When this happens, don't ask me how, but its possible for this second ovum to be impregnated.
Apparently, you have to be very careful if one somehow gets pregnant while on the pill. The chemical cocktail is apparently not very good for babies at all, so frequent screenings are suggested. Plus, there's the high chance alcohol and tobacco have been consumed during that time.
As for the condom thing, its not the length that needs the magnum, its the girth. Anecdotally, apparently condoms in Japan are not made for North Americans. My buddy had to get some sent in.

Pretty awesome defense though.
Her - "You shot it in my eye"
Him - "Hey you might be blind but at least you're (note correct use of you're as oppossed to your) not pregnant"
