Durex China Obama Ad Suggests Obama Has Anatomical Edge Over Romney (PHOTO)

When it comes to huge stimulus packages, President Barack Obama definitely has the edge on Mitt Romney. But a Chinese ad for Durex condoms also suggests another big difference between the president and his former challenger.

1. OMG. I shouldn't laugh.

But that is hilarious.

[slutticus]

2. This is so wrong on so many levels

...but i'm

[codjh9]

3. That is one of the funniest things I've seen this election cycle! Thanks...

[sheshe2]

5. We all need a good laugh of relief!

I was laughing so hard I could hardly (no pun intended) post it!

[Arugula Latte]

4. Mitt's undies can only do so much.

I mean, they're magic and all, but, you know, they're not miracle workers.

[Skinner]

6. Rofl.

[sheshe2]

10. The Skinner!!!!!!!! Holy S**T

I am honored! Thank you sooooo very much for DU!

[Coyotl]

18. I thought you were referring to someone's anatomy

"The Skinner"

[sheshe2]

20. NOT!

LOL!
I am a newbie....Skinner KR'ed my thread.....posted too.....wow......!
It's awesome!

[1StrongBlackMan]

7. That so ...

plays on racist stereotypeing; but is funny as hell.

[PD Turk]

8. I guess stereotypes aren't always a bad thing

[Angry Dragon]

9. From the women that know!!

[redStateBlueHeart]

11. I really shouldn't have been drinking juice when I saw this...

Now there's OJ all over my computer screen

[flor-de-jasmim]

12. Yeah, but according to Jill Biden, who has seen Joe up close...

[onecent]

13. HILARIOUS.....Hope they cannot steal anything while holed up there?

[msanthrope]

14. You can tell which lady looks happier!! nt

[sheshe2]

16. Yup!

That would be the one on top!
LOL!

[MineralMan]

15. It's twue. It's twue.

I can't believe I was the first to get that in here.

[msanthrope]

17. I must be slipping...

[tarheelsunc]

19. In case anyone was wondering, the Chinese text says...

"The difference between Obama and Romney is..."

Surprised I knew that with my limited Chinese

[sheshe2]

22. Thanks for the translation! nt

[Care Acutely]

27. HA! That's even BETTER!

[eridani]

58. Now THIS is what I really love about DU!

I'd be willing to bet that any quote from any foreign language on this board would get a response from someone with an approximately correct translation somewhere downthread.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

21. Okay, that was hilarious.

[Bonobo]

23. Funny, but...

If there was a thread about the size of Michelle's butt, breasts or vagina, it would be swiftly locked.

Maybe I will post about how overly large Ann Romney's vagina is and see how it goes.

[sheshe2]

24. This was from an article at Huff Post under the Business site...not something I made up

The Chinese text on the condom ad "The difference between Obama and Romney is…", which was posted to Chinese social network Weibo on Nov. 7. The Beijing Cream first reported on the ad's existence and The Huffington Post confirmed the text of the ad with its own translation.

I just reported an article...I thought it was funny.
You decide!

[Bonobo]

28. I think it's funny too...

But I can't help but put on my anthropologist hat and see the differences with which we accept the mocking of male sexuality vs. the intolerance of discussing female body parts.

[sheshe2]

29. The difference as I see it as a female is....

This was put out there as a funny post....Satire!
There was nothing funny about what the GOP was saying about females....about legitimate rape, about we are so easy to rape ,that we aren't smart enough to decide what is right for our bodies! Trans vaginal ultrasounds ...the repubs want to tell us what is right for us.....guess we are just to dumb to decide! We are women after all ....we never should have gotten the vote in the first place we need the men folk to tell us what to do!

This election was in part decided by WOMEN saying NO!

We spoke pretty loud and clear with a 19% gender gap!

We elected Elizabeth Warren here in MA!To take our country forward!
WE elected Women to the congress and senate to take us FORWARD!

[4th law of robotics]

42. That is not what is being discussed here

Mocking a womans genitals will get you banned.
Mocking a mans genitals gets laughs.

This is a double standard. Do you see it?

[sheshe2]

57. No I Do Not

a story that i posted from the huffington post is not the same as congress trying to legislate laws on womens bodies! When was the last time you saw any laws being legislated against mens bodies..... please enlighten me!

When was your right to chose taken away frm you....I must have missed that!

[4th law of robotics]

66. Again, we aren't discussing Congress

we are discussing this site.

Do you understand that DU is not the US congress?

When was the last time you saw any laws being legislated against mens bodies..... please enlighten me!

Well there was the draft. . .

Also most prisoners (94% or so) are male. So those laws primarily affect men, and what they may do with their bodies (like moving about freely).

[MicaelS]

74. If a woman is called a vulgar term for her genitals,

There is massive outrage.

The same thing does NOT happen if a man if referred to by a vulgar slang term for his genitals.

I see plenty of women saying things like “He must be compensating for small genitalia” or variations of that. Especially when referring to gun owners, or owners of large trucks, or a large something.

Imagine if a man said “She must be compensating for having small breasts”, or “She must be compensating for having poor quality genitalia.”

It is perfectly acceptable on DU to call a man fat, or flabby. Imagine if the same thing was said about a woman.

When men complain about misandry, we’re told there is no such thing.

When men complain about women hating men, we’re told that doesn’t happen. Yet men are told all the time that men hate women.

When men complain about discrimination, we’re told we can’t be discriminated against because we’re a member of the oppressor class. As if a poor working class man could still be the oppressor, while a college educated women is still the victim.

When men complain about some woman who has written an article where she fantasizes about killing lots of men, we’re told its satire and we should “lighten up”.

Or we’re given speech after speech about “The Patriarchy”, and how if we’re not part of the solution, we’re part of the problem. And how ALL hetero men are equally guilty if we don’t “do something”.

It’s even inferred that all men are either rapists or potential rapists.

I’m sick and tired of men being called names, and being told to “lighten up” when we complain.

Men get bashed regularly here on DU. I’d say it’s even a sport with some.

[rDigital]

78. Very well spoken. There needs to be equality on all sides and in all respects. nt

[lonestarnot]

26. Bwwwaaa ah aahahahahahaha LMFAO!

pm me with that fucking link!

[sheshe2]

31. I think you are asking for this????

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/07/durex-china-obama-ad-romney-photo_n_2089379.htm

[joshcryer]

30. Mens rights BS.

[Bonobo]

32. No, it is a legitimate double standard,

Any way you slice it, whether in the form of humor or as a serious message about men compensating for their penis size, it is acceptable to talk about men and their genital size and NOT acceptable to discuss women's.

Now you can call me a whiner or whatever personal attack you choose, but I am pointing out a real cultural double standard.

Deal with it.

[sheshe2]

35. I want you to answer what I wrote at post 29!

There is a huge difference to the points you are trying to make and what congress has been pushing thru with their agenda for the past year!

Have you seen any agenda effecting your rights as a person. Are they trying to forge mandated invasive procedures to your body!

Have they once said that your life should be sacrificed for the life of your child!
The child that they will not support once born!

Have you!

[4th law of robotics]

47. You are the only one bringing Congress in to this

Everyone else is taking about what jokes are acceptable on DU.

[Bonobo]

52. Yes, I agree about all that.

But I don't think it bears directly on the issue I am bringing up wrt the double standard.

I really do validate women's victory over the BS control the Repubs were trying to assert. Bravo for that. Seriously.

[sheshe2]

62. I have to ask

When was the last time congress decided to to make a law about your body!
I must have missed that legislation...fill me in!
Please I need to know!

[Bonobo]

63. I already answered your question and now you're taking advantage.

So I will decline the rhetorical question.

[4th law of robotics]

67. I'm glad some people see it

If you want to educate others on men's feelings regarding this type of humor you should post in a more visible place than the Men's Group or within a thread. Perhaps an OP in GD or Meta.

Such a post would be hidden or mocked.

/what about teh menz!?!? Man up. Check your privileges.
//DU is not generally receptive to gender double standards that benefit women at the expense of men.

[joshcryer]

38. You could make a joke like that.

It'd simply have to be funny.

Which Bonobo failed hard to do.

[4th law of robotics]

44. Weak justification for hypocrisy

Do you believe we should embrace sexist double standards here?

[joshcryer]

49. I didn't make the joke.

I didn't rec the thread.

I didn't say I thought it was funny. (That joke is way over played.)

Who's the hypocrite?

Some people think it's funny. I don't care one way or another.

[snooper2]

51. can we mark this for future reference?

[joshcryer]

55. With regards to?

[4th law of robotics]

69. And now is the time for furious backpedalling

ha.

[4th law of robotics]

48. That's all you have? Clearly defined empirical evidence that supports your claim perfectly?

What a bunch of mens rights nonsense.

[backscatter712]

40. Meh, speaking as a man and a general member of the Privileged Bastards Club, I can suck it up.

Sorry, a dick joke doesn't mean I'm being oppressed.

[joshcryer]

43. Bro fist.

When we've equalized the playing field we can work on "male sex organ shaming" which the MRAs complain about.

[4th law of robotics]

46. Out of curiosity, how do you feel you are privileged by your gender?

Specifically.

[backscatter712]

56. Completely unfairly.

Men have enjoyed quite a bit more political power than women for most of human history. Even today.

Douchebags like Todd Akin are trying to tell women what they can and can't do with their own bodies. Employers pay women less than men for the same work. Women have a harder time getting many jobs than men do, they get told to submit and obey men by religious figures, etc. etc. etc.

No, I don't agree with it, I believe women should be accorded the same respect and rights as men, but that's how things are. We live in a world where women suffer from discrimination. Hopefully yesterday's election will help with this.

[4th law of robotics]

68. I asked for specifics

are you a politician? Are you in the 1%?

If not, how does their having similar genitals benefit you personally?

Are you going to live longer because of it? Less likely to end up in jail? Did you have more money dedicated to providing education and health care to your gender?

Employers pay women less than men for the same work

A valid complaint if it were true.

Women have a harder time getting many jobs than men do

Citation?

they get told to submit and obey men by religious figures, etc. etc. etc.

So women can volunteer to go to a church that gives them a list of rules to voluntarily follow?

And this is different for men?

I believe women should be accorded the same respect and rights as men

What rights are they denied?

[backscatter712]

70. Hard to believe I'm having this conversation on a progressive web site...

Employers pay women less than men for the same work

A valid complaint if it were true.

Ask Lilly Ledbetter about that...

Women have a harder time getting many jobs than men do

Citation?

Here's but one example. But really, it's not hard to go to scholar.google.com and run a search on "gender discrimination"

http://www.uky.edu/Centers/iwin/RTOCT12/HooblerWomeninManagement.pdf

So women can volunteer to go to a church that gives them a list of rules to voluntarily follow?

And this is different for men?

You ever see female priests in the Roman Catholic Church? I haven't, and in fact, nobody has, because it's not allowed. Pope Maladict still decrees that the priesthood be a boys-only club.

And how voluntary is going to a religious organization when you've been raised going to it since you were a baby, you were steeped in the culture, and their memes (including misogynistic memes) affect how you and everyone around were socialized? Sure you can leave, as long as you don't mind losing friends, family, much of your social life... Some people can do that (I have), many can't.

What rights are they denied?

Are you really this obtuse? Crawl out of your man-cave and look around you. Gender bias is pervasive.

As for my personal specifics? Only raised in a religion where the canon holds men to be superior to women; went to schools where boys were steered to math, science, engineering, business, while girls were steered to home-ec; I got respected more in college earning my degrees and on the job working as a software engineer than women earning the same degrees and working the same jobs; I don't have right-wing religious fanatics in government telling me what I can and can't do with my testicles. etc. etc. etc.

[sheshe2]

75. Wow!

That was well said!

[4th law of robotics]

77. Ahem:

Ask Lilly Ledbetter about that...

I prefer to base my opinions on empirical studies: http://www.democraticunderground.com/11144984

No persistent industry-wide discrimination has been found against women in the workplace. Individual cases? Sure. But then there are cases where men are discriminated against.

You ever see female priests in the Roman Catholic Church? I haven't, and in fact, nobody has, because it's not allowed. Pope Maladict still decrees that the priesthood be a boys-only club.

So? What bearing does this have on non-members? You can choose to go and subject yourself to their arbitrary rules. Or not. They aren't running the country are they?

And how voluntary is going to a religious organization when you've been raised going to it since you were a baby, you were steeped in the culture, and their memes (including misogynistic memes) affect how you and everyone around were socialized? Sure you can leave, as long as you don't mind losing friends, family, much of your social life... Some people can do that (I have), many can't.

100% voluntary.

This isn't a theocracy.

Are you really this obtuse? Crawl out of your man-cave and look around you. Gender bias is pervasive.

Some things are so obvious that it's impossible to cite even one example.


Are women currently denied the right to vote? To a fair trial? To choose their own religion? To express themselves politically? To run for office? To posses arms for self-defense?

What specific rights are women currently denied in the US?

As for my personal specifics? Only raised in a religion where the canon holds men to be superior to women; went to schools where boys were steered to math, science, engineering, business, while girls were steered to home-ec; I got respected more in college earning my degrees and on the job working as a software engineer than women earning the same degrees and working the same jobs; I don't have right-wing religious fanatics in government telling me what I can and can't do with my testicles. etc. etc. etc.

Sorry about your personal upbringing. But we're talking about politics/rights/etc.

Currently we spend money to steer girls towards STEM courses and to do better in math and science.

There is no money being spent to cover the deficit boys face in language courses. Also girls have a significantly higher graduation rate than boys and are now going to college at a rate of 3:2.

Clearly boys are the ones being overly privileged there.

There are scholarships for women only. Are there comparable scholarships for men only?

And religious fanatics tell men what they can and can't do with their genitals all the time. Save it for marriage applies to both. Also they aren't so keen on homosexual men doing what they please with their genitals are they?

Take any other group. Any one you please other than men. This hypothetical group represents 95% of the prison population. About 95% of workplace fatalities. The majority of the homeless population. Members kill themselves at a rate 4 times that of non-members. They are the first ones to be pushed in to dangerous jobs or deemed disposable enough for foreign wars. For the same crimes they suffer disproportionately harsh sentences. Despite living shorter lives they have less money dedicated to their health care than non-members. They make up the vast majority of highschool dropouts, discipline cases, and the like. Despite attending college at far lower rates than their population would imply there are scholarships available only to non-members. Despite suffering many unique issues that are largely unaddressed any attempt to correct these issues is seen as unfair to non-members (despite non-members already absorbing vastly more funds to address their issues).

This is a privileged group?

Where character, honesty, and integrity triumphed over distortion, shiftiness, and Romnesia, which we now know could be attributed to poor blood flow.
