Chinese condoms too small for South Africans

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.

Judge Sulet Potterill blocked the deal with Siqamba, ruling that the condoms were too small, made from the wrong material, and were not approved by the World Health Organisation, the paper said.

South Africa has more HIV infections than any country in the world, with 5.38 million of its 50 million people carrying the virus.

I foresee a war coming between the Chinese and the South Africans! And the Chinese promises "stiff" retaliation!

I wonder who will "limp" away as the loser?

Ancient Chinese proverb: Size does not matter if one prematurely peters out.

With a population of 1.3 billions, what do those little pricks know about condom anyway?!

Knowing the Chinese, they'll just keep "pecking" away at the competition with more cheap products!

I once heard that that smaller the penis in a group the higher the intelligence ...with the Asians score the highest in comparative IQ with the other racial groups ... I will stand silent on the racial group with the lowest average

Too small for the entire population or just the Africans?

That explains why you don’t see too many American women hooked up with Chinese guys...

For the Chinese the climax of the war will come too soon.
