China Recycles Condoms As Hair Bands, Spreads STDs.

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China, threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday.
In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.
"These cheap and colourful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ... threatening the health of local people," it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.
"People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns," the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying.
They can't even make f**king hair bands that aren't possibly lethal.
First, date-rape toys now this?
"Yo momma's so poor she uses used condoms as hair bands!"
"Dammmmn son!"

That's just disgusting.
It reminds me of a joke though:
Q: What do you do with 365 used condoms?
A: Melt them, make them into a tire and call it a Goodyear.

Apparently, some Australian bead-making sets contained a drug that's used by date-rapists to put victims to sleep and can cause other lethal harm.

I thought of this years ago, though I was doing it for comedic reasons.
Glad someone picked it up, not surprised it was the Chinese.

Who on earth (apart from the chinese) would go around collecting used condoms?
Geewhizz that'd be a hell of job description, imagine the chat-up line -
Girl "So, what do you do for a livin'?"
Man "Well love, I'm a pro-fessional condom recycler. That's right I find used condoms and use them again...!"
Girl "Ooookay then, nice chatting to you..."

Spreading AIDS? That is ridiculous; the virus cannot survive outside outside the host for any length of time. This is the same paranoia as you had about catching HIV off the toilet seat.

You couldn't really get an STD from having a hair band in your hair, right? That's ridiculous.

You probably couldn't get E-coli from using recycled diapers as hamburger buns, either.
