Cell Phone Condoms Charm Chinese Teens

(Newser) – What's the latest little doodad Chinese teens love to attach to their cell phones? Condoms! It seems few gabbers in the Nanning region can be without the handy-dandy packaged "charm." Parents and teachers "can take this opportunity to strengthen sex education, to preach correct and scientific sex knowledge," gushed a Chinese psychologist.

But other officials are worried about a Chinese bugaboo: consumer quality. Some health experts fear the super cheap condoms could be a bust. The condom packages have a hole to attach to a cell phone, are printed with cartoon characters and zodiac signs and the words "interesting imported condoms"—and have no manufacturing or expiration dates.


Condom, anyone?

Yeah right; nothing more scarier than punching a hole in a condom. Reminds me of a book I read in college titled “The Population Explosion in China” by Wee Phukum Young (sorry, I couldn’t help myself).

Condoms on cell phones will prevent teens from getting sexual transmitted diseases on their tongues.
