Condoms Are Named for Clinton, Lewinsky - Yahoo! News
BEIJING - A rubber company in China has begun marketing condoms under the brand names Clinton and Lewinsky, apparently seeking to exploit the White House affair that led to the impeachment of America's 42nd president.
Spokesman Liu Wenhua of the Guangzhou Rubber Group said the company was handing out 100,000 free Clinton and Lewinsky condoms as part of a promotion to raise consumer awareness of its new products.
He said that after the promotion ends, the Clinton condoms will go on sale in southern China for 29.8 Yuan ($3.72) for a box of 12, while the Lewinsky model will be priced at 18.8 Yuan ($2.35) for the same quantity.
When contacted, former President William Jefferson Clinton's wife Hillary Rodham vehemently protested the sale of these condoms, calling then "Yet another sexist representation of society's total disregard for the true worth of women..." When pressed to further explain her position, Ms Rodham decried the "lower cost" for the one named after Ms Lewinski, adding that unless they were talking about a different Bill Clinton, the one she knows "never needed a rubber as much as a thimble..."
