Mena Suvari's Image Used To Sell Chinese Condoms

March 11th, 2009 8:37am EDT Post a comment 4 comments Add to My News

American Beauty actress Mena Suvari has become the latest unwitting star of a Chinese advertisement - in which she appears to promote condoms.

Suvari is pictured wearing a backless dress and posing seductively on the contraceptive packets, sold by the Chinese firm Eyesome. The condoms are on sale for $1.30 in Chinese supermarkets and online.

The unauthorized endorsement, made possible because of relaxed image rights in the Asian country, follows the unofficial use of images of Sean Connery and soccer star David Beckham to promote a range of Viagra-style impotence capsules in a Chinese ad last month.
