Condoms and Communists

From a Guy Kawasaki blog post called The Art of Driving Your Competition Crazy: During the Korean War, the U. S. Army Office of Strategic Services left a supply of condoms for the Communist Chinese to find. The condoms were specially manufactured in an extra-large size. The label on the boxes, however, said, “Made in the USA Size Medium.”

Heh, sausage fear as a psychological weapon... nice. What are we telling the insurgents in Iraq today? After exporting David Hasselhoff I think we'll have a tough time re-deploying the condom-sizing technique to any nation that's ever had the benefit of mass media. Damn BayWatch. However, we may be able to scare the hell out of them with a killer plastic boobies strategy. All I know is that I'm stuffing this year's spandex triathlon suit with some serious fake meat.
