Anyone Want To Buy Some ChiCom Condoms?

Because nothing says “Olympic Spirit” like prophylactics made in a communist sweat shop.
BEIJING – A Chinese collector of Olympic memorabilia will put some of his mementos on the auction block later this month, including a batch of 5,000 condoms given to competitors at the 2008 Beijing Games.
The items — labelled with the Olympic movement’s “faster, higher, stronger” motto — are left-overs from the 100,000 condoms distributed for free to athletes at the Beijing Olympic Village, the state China Daily said Thursday.
The entire lot of 5,000 must be purchased by one buyer at the “Exceptional Auction of China Sport Collection” on November 29, with the bidding to begin at 5,000 yuan (730 dollars), or one yuan per condom. (H/T – AFP)
One person is supposed to buy all 5,000 condoms? What, are they expecting Paris Hilton to be in attendance?

Condoms from the Olympic Games? Gives a new meaning to the term “rubber match”.

with a fifth of the worlds population, the ChiComs certainly could use them.

I’d be afraid to buy them, especially from Wal-Mart. You can be guaranteed that there will be a recall notice.

MeToo – Agreed.
Mario – The next thing you know, you’ll have four kids. Oh wait . . .
