Clinton finds himself on cover of condom packs
Can Clinton overtake Trojan Horse?
But he may be surprised to know that his monicker is now being used as a brand name by a condom manufacturer in southern China - together with that of Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern with whom he had an affair. Guangzhou Haojian Biotech Company recently announced the launch of the Clinton and Lewinsky brands of condoms. General manager Liu Wenhua proudly declared that his was the first company in China to have registered an international celebrity's name as a trademark. No, he did not need to pay a single penny to use the names, he explained, because these are just "ordinary Western names" and having them as trademarks would not constitute an infringement on intellectual property rights. Both brands are for males, with the former priced at 29.8 yuan (US$3.7) for a
pack of a dozen and the latter 18.8 yuan (US$2.3) a dozen. The "Clinton" is for
the upscale market while the "Lewinsky" for the mass market, Liu elaborated.
