Apparently, the Chinese are recycling used condoms, and re- purposing them as cheap hair bands. Yes, you read that right: the Chinese are re-using CONDOMS as fashion items.
This report comes from the Chinese state-run media, and should come as no surprise to anyone who's been following the recent spate of dangerous Chinese imports like lead- paint toys and toxic toothpaste that have found their way onto world markets. These hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons throughout southern China.
The fact that they sell for three cents for a bag of 10 probably accounts for their popularity. So they're saving some money – but at what cost? The condoms may still contain bacteria and viruses in spite of the fact that they've been recycled.
Excuse me. My turn to run to the bathroom. _________________ .

I hear these new hairbands are the cream of the crop. Financial experts are predicting maximum penetration. Just don't let your girlfriend/wife see it, as it'll only 'rubber' up the wrong way..
