Lei Feng condom too expensive

Ok, there are going to be a lot of nasty jokes about China's national hero Lei Feng, now he has appeared as the brand name on a condom. Letters from China has a nice start.

As I have discussed before, the matter of Lei Feng having a girlfriend, let lone a boy friend, is still at the hands of the national spindoctors.

My main objection against this campaign would be the pricing. Three condoms for 12 Renminbi! That is far too expensive. In Shanghai you can get them for one renminbi a piece and then the margin is still 80, 90 percent. Lei Feng would have given them away for free to his friends.
