The Clinton Condom

Participants in one of the most scandalous adulteries in the modern history, ex-US president Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, suddenly became involved in the sexual life of the Chinese.

As China Daily newspaper reports, Chinese company Guangzhou Haojian used their names as trademarks for condoms.

Company’s representative Li Wenhua said that this was the first case of famous names registered as trademarks in China. According to Wenhua, the company does not pay for this as these are “just ordinary Western names” and their usage does not violate intellectual property.

“Clinton” condoms are produced for consumers with income higher than average and cost 29,8 yuan ($3,7) for a 10-pack. “Lewinsky” condoms are aimed at mass consumer. They are sold for 18,8 yuan ($2,3) for a pack.

Each pack contains a package insert with erotic images on one side and an X-rated joke on the other side.
