Cell Phone Condoms Charm Chinese Teens

What's the latest little doodad Chinese teens love to attach to their cell phones? Condoms! It seems few gabbers in the Nanning region can be without the handy-dandy packaged "charm." Parents and teachers "can take this opportunity to strengthen sex education, to preach correct and scientific sex knowledge," gushed a Chinese psychologist.

But other officials are worried about a Chinese bugaboo: consumer quality. Some health experts fear the super cheap condoms could be a bust. The condom packages have a hole to attach to a cell phone, are printed with cartoon characters and zodiac signs and the words "interesting imported condoms"—and have no manufacturing or expiration dates.
