Comments on Springtime for China blog consultantsThe well-kown condom in China must be Jissbon and Durex, but now a new brand was waiting for the authorites' approvation, its name is Central Channel 1, in Chinese, it is read zhong yang yi tao. Zhongyangyitao , in China, is the name of the Channel 1 of Central TV Station. But in Chinese, the condom is often called An quan tao or Bi yun tao, and tao for short. The same pronunciation caused this funny thing. But will it get the anthorites' approvation successfully? It is still unknown. EDITOR'S NOTE: There is a link to that story on a previous Danwei post: Netease reports that man named Li Chenyong from Changle in Fujian Province applied to register a trademark for a condom brand named zhongyang yi tao (中央一套), a slang way of referring to CCTV 1. Link: http://news.163.com/06/0731/08/2NBIKLVN00011229.html For the news of "中央一套"， the results of investigation show that some related domains have been registered. Such as Zhongyangyitao.com and zhongyang1tao.com. and the zhongyang1tao.com has made up for a condom sales website now. |
