I love it when all you have to do is copy one number from an article, and the submitter still gets it wrong.

nukeim		2005-01-07 03:37:25 AM

Great...Now with the added sensitivity, I'll only last 4 hours.

Arri		2005-01-07 03:47:40 AM

Finally, one that fits me!

What? Thick? Not long?

Crap.

exick		2005-01-07 03:56:10 AM

I think Mainichi is probably the only news source that could get away with using a word like 'weinerhosen'.

brazil		2005-01-07 03:56:52 AM

Condom? If there is no chance of getting her pregnant... what's the point if farking her?

Ku_No_Ichi		2005-01-07 03:58:44 AM

I smell a rat.
A country with a minus rate population growth invents this?

Can you say "shotgun wedding"?

CableGuy		2005-01-07 04:02:01 AM

weinerhosen

Best word ever. Shockingly it's not in the dictionary.com

binnster		2005-01-07 09:33:34 AM

That's nearly as thick as my cock. But not quite.

Zipster: I love it when all you have to do is copy one number from an article, and the submitter still gets it wrong.

In the submitter's defense, at the beginning it says 0.03mm and towards the end it says 0.3mm. Still, I believe that 0.03mm is probably the correct number.

whatshisname		2005-01-07 10:30:46 AM

0.3mm? What's that in furlongs?

Does anyone else think that Ryann Connell enjoys his job just a little bit too much?

DanB		2005-01-07 10:58:51 AM

Yes, but does it come in Honeydew flavor?

Epistax		2005-01-07 11:08:33 AM

Now it's so thin you can rip it by looking at it wrong.

Mugato		2005-01-07 11:08:35 AM

Nah, I don't trust it. I'm not staking 18 years of my livlehood on something like that. Test it for a while, get back to me.

I laughed each time one of these cropped up. Good article.

No, it comes in meatloaf flavor though.

kachoo		2005-01-07 11:10:05 AM

But can it be filled with air and stretched to 3 feet?

skinink		2005-01-07 11:10:14 AM

A condom so thin and effective, you can almost hear your sperm cry out, "You heatless bastard !"

Adman12		2005-01-07 11:10:54 AM

No, it comes in meatloaf flavor though.

Considering the source, I was more concerned it might come in wasabi flavour.

/yikes!

rodeofrog		2005-01-07 11:10:57 AM

It was developed by a 15-member team. Member.

ratboy		2005-01-07 11:12:13 AM

Is that length or diameter?

pkellmey		2005-01-07 11:12:25 AM

Sounds like a Planned Parenthood condom...

Yeah, it got a little annoying after a while. Like sitting next to a guy in a bar talking about women/dames/broads/skirts/birds...

Teucer, did I meet you at a bar recently?

FarkinNortherner		2005-01-07 11:15:04 AM

0.3mm = fairly thick, no ?

/didn't rtfa

Bitcore		2005-01-07 11:15:12 AM

The number of puns in this article is just disturbing...

"Ikeda headed the 15-member team"
"having sold more than 2 million skins since it was unsheathed in November 2003"
"development of love gloves"
"Despite being dealt numerous blows through the years"
"He was the first to produce a wham bam dam "

...or spending time on a Fark thread after school gets out.

1.49129086 10^-07 furlongs

That's one thin condom!

tzzhc4		2005-01-07 11:19:11 AM

The question is do they only come in Asian sizes, or do they make ones that fit the rest of the civilized world ;)

Clever Neologism		2005-01-07 11:19:21 AM

Wow, maybe now I can actually feel something when I use this one...

/necessary, uncomfortable, and shiatty

Uriel		2005-01-07 11:21:24 AM

I told you the Japanese ones were the best (and you all chose not to listen). What is this world coming to! Oh the humanity!

/procrastinating on an essay rocks!

Hemi'Cuda		2005-01-07 11:21:26 AM

I wonder if theseare the state sponsored condoms in China
(1.3 billion people!!!)

GW_Diesel		2005-01-07 11:22:06 AM

Still, no cure for Cancer?

RandomExcess		2005-01-07 11:22:53 AM

Still no cure for AIDS

tonkin		2005-01-07 11:23:01 AM

We are very simple people with very small penis

Adman12		2005-01-07 11:23:13 AM

Just to tie all these loose threads together, I wouldn't recommend using a super-thin dome if you plan on going to town with either Pammy Anderson or Anna K.

Hugh G. Rection		2005-01-07 11:23:27 AM

Awesome! FINALLY there's a condom my size!

...Oh, you meant 0.03mm thick, not "long"?

forget it...

Photoshop This		2005-01-07 11:24:47 AM

I suppose my work as a professional condom tester is done here.

badassredskin		2005-01-07 11:25:22 AM

way too many puns in that article

Photoshop This		2005-01-07 11:26:45 AM

Couldn't find a definition for weinerhosen. But found another jewel: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Weinerhouse

The_Human_Torch		2005-01-07 11:30:48 AM

This should have the "Hero" tag

Haerski		2005-01-07 11:30:53 AM

I invented one made out of thin air. The ladies love it, they say it feels like I'm actually not even wearing one.

frankmanhog		2005-01-07 11:32:05 AM

The writer of the article needed to spend more time in math class, and less time making up sexual puns. In addition to his confusion on whether it is 0.3 mm or 0.03 mm, we have this gem:

He was the first to produce a wham bam dam with a thickness of 0.6 mm, which he later surpassed by going a further 0.2 mm thinner.

0.6 - 0.2 = 0.3 ???

Johnny Golgotha		2005-01-07 11:34:03 AM

Bitcore

They're not puns, they're euphemisms.

/english nazi

safeinsane		2005-01-07 11:35:41 AM

Like this will get people to use them.

docilej		2005-01-07 11:37:36 AM

...and the kittens rejoiced.

Pert		2005-01-07 11:39:16 AM

Goddamit, when are they going to invent one 3cm thick - right now it's like waving a stick in a cathedral!
