Today in Ewwwwwwwwwww! News:

Police seize 345,000 used condoms that were cleaned and sold as new

Police in Vietnam have confiscated an estimated 345,000 used condoms which had been cleaned and resold as new, state media reported.

Footage broadcast by state-owned Vietnam Television (VTV) this week showed dozens of large bags containing the used contraceptives scattered across the floor of a warehouse in the southern province of Binh Duong.

Police said the bags weighed more than 360 kilograms (794 lbs), equivalent to 345,000 condoms, according to VTV.

The owner of the warehouse said they had received a “monthly input of used condoms from an unknown person,” state newspaper Tuoi Tre reported.

A woman detained during the bust told police that the used prophylactics were first boiled in water then dried and reshaped on a wooden phallus before being repackaged and resold.

I’m surprised that latex can be boiled and retain its qualities.

Or maybe it can’t, but it looks as if it can.

In any event, Ewwwwww!

This is just… astounding. Glad I don’t work in that factory.

I always thought cum dumpster was a euphemism.

Never mind that, who is that person? And what’s his Viagra bill?

I merged two threads about the same news item.

[CalMeacham]

Sorry about that. I looked to see if there was another thread on the topic, but it wasn’t obvious that “recycling gone too far” was the same thing.

“Wow. This one’s comfortable, offers great sensation, and really reminds me of Mike.”

:shudder:

Nope.

Now, it would be funny if a third thread popped up.

Actually it did right here.

Yeah, this needs a more descriptive title (although it’s funny as is).

Years ago, I met a guy who worked at the city sewage treatment plant. Part of his job was using a long-handled net to fish out non-compostable stuff from the settling tanks. He said he always got lots more condoms on Mondays, showing that people did most of their screwing on the weekends.
