A South African court has blocked the government from buying 11 million female condoms from China, 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 female 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.

Small female condemns could = a good thing.

[MuDelphi 159]

Actually, the way I read the article is that they were more importantly not made from the proper material and not approved by the WHO, but thanks for the innuendo?

Is this regional forum usually this loaded with humor?

Penguin, you are one of the best Mods, just feel free to move this kind of stuff to the RUB forum and we will have great fun with it!

Ya, Iv'e never been to the China forum before, and I came across that article and thought maybe they would get a laugh out of it. That forum is like a "no humor forum". Thank god the RUB forum isn't like that.

btw I see Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus are all represented on this thread.

So they have big vaginas in Africa?

This comment made me laugh so hard. I'm not sure if what the fact that it's in readably broken English or the blatant statement of the obvious point of this thread.

when I read the title of this article I took it as Chinese women have a small...pelvic area....

Huge.

Huge.

That reminds me of this scene from a show called Sugar Rush. These parents were at a counselor talking bout how they are swingers. The mom says the husband's ####### is too small. the counselor says "maybe stella's (the mom) ####### is massive!"
