Dateline Beijing:

A rubber company in China has begun marketing condoms under the brand names Clinton and Lewinsky, apparently seeking to exploit the White House affair that led to the impeachment of America's 42nd president. Spokesman Liu Wenhua of the Guangzhou Rubber Group said the company was handing out 100,000 free Clinton and Lewinsky condoms as part of a promotion to raise consumer awareness of its new products.

I blogged from Shanghai about the AIDS crisis in China a few years ago. As far as I'm concerned, whatever works, including these new condoms, is fine.

    I understand they are available in several shades of blue.... A major marketing obstacle is the requirement that they be stored in a cigar humidor... They will be available in three sizes - It isn't sex, that woman and impeachment.. Sorry... The devil made ne do it. ;-)

    I guess the difference between the brands is that the "Bill" one is convex and the "Monica" concave? Sort of like the guy who was throwing away nails with the point on the wrong end till his boss told him to keep them for the other side of the house. Ed
