Found this amusing, thought some of you may as well.

Bill Clinton may have been a smoothie as a politician but he's now proving to be the ultimate contraceptive in China.

The ex-US president and the woman he had a fling with, Monica Lewinsky, have found their surnames being used on a new brand of condoms.

The Guangzhou Haokian Bio-science company has registered their names as trademarks for the contraceptives.

They will be given the Chinese spellings of their names - Kelitun and Laiwensiji.

Befitting his former status as the world's most powerful man a pack of 12 Clintons will be the more expensive of the brands, costing the equivalent of just over £2.

Enjoying the use of a dozen Lewinskys will cost around £1.20.

The manufacturer's general manager, Liu Wenhua, said he was not afraid that using the two names would get him into trouble.

He said they were the "trademarks of two foreign surnames and can't be seen as a violation of rights".

Are their faces going to be on the tips? That would be *awesome.*

Maybe on the box a picture of them wagging their finger and frowning meaningfully :D
