Condom named after David Beckham takes Chinese market by storm

David BeckhamLondon, January 26: A brand of condoms named after football ace David Beckham has taken the Chinese contraceptive market under its sway.

“We do not want Beckham to think the Chinese people are disrespecting him. We love him here,” the Sun quoted one as saying.

Beckham’s agent Simon Oliveira said: “It’s not an official brand.” (ANI)
