I passed this information on because it was sent to my wife from a friend.
But because of the controversy I’m stopping. If you want you can do some research. I did a lot of checking and found out more things that I did not know about China. There is a limit to how many kids they can have. If the go over the limit they get fined.

Both are equally terrifying.

If you read the whole story they only refer to used as in reject factory condoms, not ones that were on some guys pecker. There is no evidence that I can see to make me believe there is some one following fornicators around and gathering up slimey ones.

Nice find. I guess nobody will be practicing birthcontrol with those! Unbelievable that someone would think that people would want a condon as part of their hair tie! What's even more frightening, is that people will still buy chinese crap, me included, for the price. Harbor frieght might as well be called China Exports, yet they do serve a purpose for those one time jobs, still pretty sad. I heard an economist say yesterday, with all the layoffs on wallstreet, in the auto industry, etc... that it is a good time for people to apply for overseas jobs! First we outsource our labor to foreign countries, now we are outsourcing ourselves to stay employed! When will it end." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Maybe your not reading the same thing as I have read when I see used that's what I would think it meant but would it make a difference anyway, a condom is still a condom. A kotex is a kotex until it’s used!! Would you want to use a new one as a napkin?

China Daily says that used condoms are being recycled and sold as hair bands in China. The condom bands are cheaper then bands that were not formerly prophylactics. The recycled condoms are quite popular, but risk infecting users with the diseases that they were meant to prevent.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2...nt_6251535.htm
In addition to being sold at local bazaars, the recycled condoms have been found at local beauty salons in the prosperous Pearl River Delta city, according to Guangzhou-based New Express Daily.
"These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well in the city, threatening the health of local people and tourists," the paper said.
Local doctors have warned that using these rubber bands could lead to the spread of AIDS, genital warts and other sexually transmitted diseases.
"There are a lot of bacteria and viruses on the rubber bands and hair ties made from used condoms," a dermatologist at the Guangzhou Hospital of Armed Police, who asked to be identified by his surname Dong, said.
"People could be infected with AIDS, warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while weaving their hair into plaits or buns," Dong was quoted as saying by the paper.
Chen Wenlan, a resident of Dongguan, said she was disgusted when she discovered that the rubber bands a local beauty salon had given her last week were made of recycled condoms.
Chen, a local white-collar worker, is a frequent customer of local beauty salons.
"Many of my friends have not yet heard the news. And it is really terrible," Chen said.

I'm sure there are guys over there that are just as healthy that would be more then happy to go with you. First you wanted to let me know you could kill a guy with your jar of nuts if you wanted to when we were talking about permits to carry. I'm sure you could but us old guys with disabilities need to have more then a jar of nuts.
