Those Inscrutable Chinese: Condoms To Be Named For Clinton, LewinskyOh, did I ever mention I stood next to Monica Lewinsky at some bar-basement rock show thing? I was seeing a local act called Palomar and I noticed someone who looked hellafamiliar right behind me. Not really worth mentioning, except to prove I occassionally go outdoors. There was a bit of awkwardness when I began frantically masturbating on her coat, but she just laughed it off and said, "Oh, I get that all the time." 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. Mostly because it doesn't allow much sensation, given that it's a size 10 blue skirt-suit. Try wrapping that around your dorkbat. You'll be able to go for hours. This story's dateline is today, so the story itself isn't old. But the Chinese do not appear to be quick off the gun as far as marketing. Can't wait for their Gary Hart/Donna Rice line. Thanks to JG, or, as I call him, "Jay Gee." Curiosity: Didn't "rubber" used to be kind of vulgar? Whereas "condom" was acceptable? Well, the NYTimes now calls them "rubbers," it seems, at least when it needs to refer to them twice in one sentence and doesn't want to repeat the word "condom." I think in the fourth paragraph they call them "jimmy hats" and then "Bozo balloons," but I was only skimming so I'm not really sure. Note to Oliver Willis: I certainly do not mean to imply that all Chinese are Fu-Manchu moustachioed Masters of Evil when I call them "inscrutable." I just mean that they're crafty, cunning, and have strange magical powers, like elves. posted by Ace at 06:43 PM

That's only true if you sprinkle a little bit of ground rhino horn on it. Trust me on this one. Posted by: skinbad on September 21, 2005 06:52 PM
Clinton Condoms. Heh. Posted by: bullwinkle on September 21, 2005 06:53 PM
I once met Julie Strain at the screening of a not-at-all porn movie. Awkward as hell, because she could tell that I recognized her, but I just didn't think it would be appropriate to compliment her on any of her performances. Posted by: utron on September 21, 2005 07:01 PM
I hope they work better than those crap steel screwdrivers that turn into propellors when you crank down on them... May be this is why they have population problems? Rubbers that resemble seives aren't going to help much. Posted by: Tony on September 21, 2005 07:09 PM
Clinton wll want a percentage of the profits. Posted by: erp on September 21, 2005 07:12 PM
Yo, Ace... ...maybe they actually meant that it was in fact a company that produces rubber, and products made thereof.
Posted by: Dave S on September 21, 2005 07:16 PM
Lewinsky?.....Lewinsky?...Yeah. Yeah, I remember them now. Posted by: rls on September 21, 2005 07:16 PM
You would think if the NYT was going to use slang, they would have worked in the local flavor - Coney Island Whitefish. Posted by: steve_in_hb on September 21, 2005 07:28 PM
Ace, I got ya beat-- I *worked* with her. Well, okay, I was at the White House at the same time, and knew people who knew her. How I missed getting my knob polished, I have no idea. I still feel gypped. Fucking Democrats. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on September 21, 2005 08:09 PM
it's a size 10 blue skirt-suit. Ace, I thought all guys were that big. You're not? Posted by: on September 21, 2005 08:29 PM
...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 will sexist attitudes change? I mean, it's hard to believe in this day and age that a condom named after a woman sells for 63% of her male counterpart. Equal pay for equal condoms! Posted by: Sean M. on September 21, 2005 09:09 PM
What is it with "inscrutable" anyway? Whenever you hear that word, you know the next word is going to be "Chinese". Has anyone ever scruted a Chinese? How do we know they really are inscrutable? Posted by: on September 21, 2005 09:10 PM
When people talk about how the world "hates" Bush I always shake my head. Sure, maybe some don't like our policies. But with Clinton we were a LAUGHINGSTOCK. Also, keep in mind in many non-European countries, such dalliances are frowned upon as immoral. Posted by: Aaron on September 21, 2005 09:45 PM
Tony, Try to buy the screwdrivers made in Taiwan or India and see if they are chrome vanadium. Thats' the good stuff. Posted by: Aaron on September 21, 2005 09:50 PM
"Didn't 'rubber' used to be kind of vulgar?" Right, that's what we called them back in the Jurassic era. That and "safes". The Brits used to call them "French letters"; and, come to think of it, an epistle from Jacques Chirac would resemble a scumbag. Posted by: Brown Line on September 21, 2005 10:10 PM
Maybe they can have a combo-offer and include some pure Viagro. I'm gonna pay close attention to my spam folder for that one. Posted by: Old Coot on September 21, 2005 10:30 PM
Normally I buy good tools (Snap-On, S&K, etc), but its hard to not accumulate a box full of shit stuff along the way too... Posted by: Tony on September 21, 2005 10:41 PM
huh huh.. you said "tools" in a condom thread... huh Posted by: bitterman on September 22, 2005 12:58 AM
Those of us who have sex can attest to the fact that a good quality condom at a fair price is a very, very good thing. This will mark a positive legacy for Clinton—right alongside declining poverty, AmeriCorps, a refocused military build-up, solving the Reagan/Bush deficit crisis and balancing the federal budget, increased funding for Head Start, the respect of the entire world, and a successful record against world terrorism.

The Clinton Legacy Posted by: Dave in Texas on September 22, 2005 10:41 AM
Apropos of Brown Line's comment, has anyone noticed how accepted "scumbag" is on TV, etc. (at least on NYPD Blue-type shows keepin' it real)? I suppose writers and presumably censors think it means "dirtbag", rather than "used condom." Posted by: Dave (in NYC) on September 22, 2005 10:44 AM
I also hear the word "prick" used more and more on television. Posted by: on September 22, 2005 11:07 AM
I never knew that scumbag had that meaning. Posted by: lauraw on September 22, 2005 01:09 PM
The word is unscrewable, September. I think the NYT dosen't like to use the word condom too much because it confuses the old folks. My inlaws think condoms are some kind of rowhouse. Posted by: Speller on September 22, 2005 05:44 PM
Anyone notice this? According to the AP... So now its just a wild accusation! Posted by: scott on September 23, 2005 09:28 AM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
