Something about this story seems fishy. And not just this line: "the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying."

Posted by: Clownęsthesiologist at November 16, 2007 01:40 PMIt's French. Of course it's suspect. Although Murdoch's Australian outfit covered it a day before.
My guess is they're probably 'recycling' post-industrial scrap from condom manufacture into another use but that isn't as funny as (1) people putting used condoms in their hair and (2) a doctor named Dong.
