No market penetration for Dundee condoms

In international news, Thai cultural watchdogs (who’ve evidently never heard the joke based on their capital city’s name) recently banned a line of condoms called Tom Dundee, which are named after a popular country singer. However, since Dundee means “good penetration” in Thai, the name was deemed too suggestive for Thai consumers. Dundee, whose real name is Puntiva Poomiprates, says he lent his name to the condom brand in an effort to promote safe sex in a country where more than 500,000 people have HIV or AIDS and infection rates are climbing among young people.
