China man? This is a very offensive term to Chinese American, buddy, like the N word to African American. Please learn and be sensitive.

China man registers "Yao Ming" sanitary pads

BEIJING (Reuters) - A man in southern China has applied to register a line of women's sanitary products under the name of Chinese basketball star Yao Ming, state media said on Friday.

"This kind of registration is obviously malicious," Xinhua news agency quoted "Team Yao" spokesman Lu Hao, as saying. "It's unbelievable that someone could do such a thing. It's just too much."

Yao is one of China's best known and highest paid sportsmen. The 7ft-5in centre plays with the Houston Rockets in the NBA.

The application, which also included Yao Ming-branded medicine and disposable underwear, was listed on the national trademark office Web site and about to enter a "three-month approval" period, Xinhua said.

The application comes as Chinese singer Ai Dai plans to take legal action over a businessman registering a line of condoms in her name, Xinhua said in a separate report.

The brand name "Ai Dai" is a play on words for "love to wear".

In July, a media storm broke after a man from China's southeastern province of Fujian applied to register condoms and other contraceptive products using the brand name of China's state-run news channel, CCTV1.

This is a travesty! I was just telling a friend of mine today to get a snap shot of one of his famous ball player friends wearing a t-shirt with his website name. I guess that makes me a hypocrit because Yao should be as far as possible from advertising sanitary pads (he's already famous, regular guys need the help getting in the places where Yao's name could possibly rest on a woman!) This is just tasteless (but hilarious)!

Lay off it dude. It was the title from the actual article. Or did you not bother to read that before you got all offended?
