I bought a box of Chinese latex gloves from Harbor Freight last week, the first one I put on split right in two, the second one had a hole in it.

This is probably the second best thing that ever happened to republicans. Now they can yap that condoms fail due to the poor quality controls in China.

I wonder if a lead laced condom would improve sensation at all……

#6, brm,

Since when have condoms prevented AIDS? Doesn’t the virus pass through the latex?

What with everything else of high quality coming out of China this will finally put a little more lead in the ole pencil.

That guy (Beckham??) looks stoned and not in any immediate need of a condom. I don’t know why they would put that on the packaging? So you look at it and lose it? No need for a condom then, eh?

Why is it a construction firm must pay “prevailing wages” despite available cheaper domestic labor; but for something like this the govenment can outsource to the cheaper suplier?

For years the US has handed out foreign aid with buy US provisions, it seems we should at least hand out good ol made in the USA condoms.

just a bit Obvious??

Chinese made condoms (small size appendages generally) going to aids stricken nations (ie africa – with larger size romuli’s)

Me thinks the cheaper smaller condoms will break and no aids will be prevented.

arnt party baloons cheaper

Presumably tax dollars were spent to buy these condoms for the program. By buying them from the Chinese, the government is saving the taxpayer money. Now if the government bought them locally, effectively using taxpayer dollars to subsidse the Alatech jobs, that would be tantamount to SOCIALISM, which is apparently EVIL.

You conservatives cant have it both ways.

“I can think of at least two problems with this. One is obvious.” /// Ok, I’ll bite. Is the obvious problem that as the moral leader of the world we should only support “Just say no abstinance only programs?” – - or risk our very born again Jeebesus following souls by encouraging sexual activity?

I’m stumped.
