Reused Condoms="Necessary, Normal, Safe"

Ever thought of collecting used products (bottles, cans, paper, plastics, etc?) and using the material to create new things? Sure, it happens all the time. What about used condoms? In fact, that's just what some business people in Southern China are doing.

Something like this could only happen here and now, in this country so obsessed with making profits off the smallest things, in this country populated by sneaky, cunning business people capable of squeezing a few pennies out of everything, including:

1) dead bodies--have you seen The Bodies exhibit at science museums in the states? Know where they got those bodies? The majority are from China; the government takes people who have received the death penalty, and after executing them, sells their remains.

2) placenta--in Shenzhen it is a traditional (albeit now rather underground) practice to eat placenta. They're supposed to be quite nutritious and have other mystical properties in Chinese medicine. They go for very high prices these days...quite the roaring black market trade.

3) blood--a common practice among the poor in the countryside is to sell blood to earn money, sometimes multiple times a month, to meet fees like tuition, medical bills, etc. The blood is then resold.

4) used condoms--scope out this ridiculous article for the proof.
