NYC Letter: The Clinton Legacy

The Clinton legacy, it's not about size, it's about responsibility.

RUBBER COMPANY HOPES CLINTON CONDOM WILL SELL

BEIJING September 20, 2005 (Sapa-AP) - 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 the former American president.

Spokesperson 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 $3.72 (about R24) for a box of 12, while the Lewinsky model will be priced at $2.35 (about R15) for the same quantity.

"We have received full approval from the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau to start production," he said.

"The Clinton condom will be the top of our line," he said.

"The names we chose are symbols of people who are responsible and dedicated to their jobs," he said.
