Chinese condoms too small for South Africans: report
Relaxnews – Fri, Sep 16, 2011
A South African court has blocked the government from buying 11 million Chinese condoms, saying they are too small, a newspaper reported Friday.
The finance ministry had awarded a contract to a firm called Siqamba Medical, which planned to buy the Phoenurse condoms from China, the Beeld newspaper said.
A rival firm, Sekunjalo Investments Corporation, turned to the High Court in Pretoria after losing the bid, arguing that their condoms were 20 percent larger than the Chinese ones.

ok this is funny and probably going to be thought of as racist but it's not...
I needed a good laugh - thanks for posting this!! Good to know the rest of the world can beat the Chinese at something at least. Chinese products have swamped world markets, haven't they - now, I know one product they'd have trouble selling in world markets, if they continue to make em that small
Yeah, the South Africans export their condoms to China, and the Chinese use them as parachutes.
My husband is a South African so we'll have a laugh about this later...
There is nothing I can say here that wouldn't get me banned for life...
This is good to know. I have often heard that they have weaners instead of you know what...I can't really prove it but I do know African men are very well endowed.
There is no such thing as a small penis...
only vagina's that are too large for their own good
These things are amazingly elastic to fit in one’s head. If the report says the tools are too small then these guys must be amazingly big.
Reminds me funny image of "Genesis Condoms" for Africans, can't post it here could get me banned for month.

Gathered like a herd, 34 people were killed by the south African police. As they invoke legitime defense, one can only ponder on the conditions of their killing. I don't recall seing antagonist rebels. I don't recall seing weapons and threatening body languages. I don't even recall hearing...

Should you leave condoms in your car, even if it's a hot day?I know you shouldn't keep them in your wallet but then again not extreme temperatures either.
