The BBC's highest reader count for its stories is this one, this is their big front page story.
It just goes to show that when sex is commodified, people start taking measurements in inches. Fortunately, unlike Europe, India doesn't seem to have any trouble making babies.

It got booted over to from front page to general/chat, but that's because the editors here have a more serious idea of what news is than the BBC.

As I recall, it doesn't look that way on Indian temple friezes. But maybe those are gods.

This has so much potential for politically incorrect comments it stretches my imagination.

Big Brother says:
One size must fit all.
It not too big, maybe Indian men's wee-wee too small. Therefore, they must modify to make big brother standard fit.

Lord grant me the serenity to accept the size I cannot change, the courage to change the size I can and the wisdom to figure out what Im talking about

Ghandi used to sleep with two virgins. Now we know why they were safe...

Hmmm. It must be all that outsourcing that caused this problem. All those Americans yelling at them.

I hope Indian men don't get too upset over this.
I'd hate to see them go off half-cocked.

Send them a half million of our largest condoms, label them " Small".

No wonder the Kama Sutra was written. They had to make allowances up somewhere to make up for the shortcomings.

The whole issue makes me wonder if the Chinese commiserate.

"that were shorter than international standards.."
What standards are we talking about? ASME, Stoomwezen or perhaps DIN?

Well, I never would have believed it, but there is a wiki on the subject.
"World Health Organization specifies 5.3 cm wide condoms for Africa, 5.2 cm wide condoms for Europe, and 4.9 cm condoms for Asia."
Somehow a scene from "Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo" comes to mind.

You're lucky, the mods gave another a time out for a day for posting this earlier, but then again, they put it in breaking.
