OMG.... Chinese condom ad compares Mitt and Barack (no wonder Michelle is smiling!)

?4

When it comes to huge stimulus packages, President Barack Obama definitely has the edge on Mitt Romney. But a Chinese ad for Durex condoms also suggests another big difference between the president and his former challenger.

The Chinese text on the condom ad "The difference between Obama and Romney is…", which was posted to Chinese social network Weibo on Nov. 7. The Beijing Cream first reported on the ad's existence and The Huffington Post confirmed the text of the ad with its own translation.

The ad appears to be official, although inquiries to Durex were not returned as of press time. The provocative ad juxtaposes photos of first lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney making hand gestures that describe disparate sizes.

The condom ad isn't the only one to have a little fun at Romney's expense. An ad for Roku, a video streaming site, taunted Romney after his 2012 election loss, stating "Cheer up Mitt! More time to watch TV."
