Yao Ming tampons? Ain't gonna happen

yaomingtamponchina.jpgWe know a little something about the ladies: when it's that time of the month, the last thing you need is the unwanted attentions of men. So, if you want to close the doors and shutter the windows for a week, we can understand -- but would you make an exception for Yao Ming? The Yao Ming tampon, that is?

But don't get excited too soon -- this is but one of many companies that have attempted to use the Yao Ming (the characters or similar sounding ones) name on their products. The government bureau in charge of this has said that while it has accepted such applications, they are, in the end, usually rejected, which is good, because we can't think of how one would market a Yao Ming condom. (It's not like he's Lei Feng or anything.)

Maybe you PR and ad agency people among our readers can help us think of a slogan.

I'm sure lots of girls would love to have Yao Ming between their legs at that special time. He can "block the hole" or "penetrate to the hoop" with skill, precision and power.

"every woman should have a little yao in them." ...it even uses communist dictum.

Is that what people mean when they say Yao Ming is a stuck up cvnt? Or did I hear it wrong?
