Wrong choice of pictures?

Sometimes choosing a mascot or cover of an album seems to be harder than it looks. Or people just do things without thinking.
See here two that generate quite some comments.


The mascot (“Haibiao”?) for the 2010 Shanghai International Exhibition is called by some “The Blue Condom”. Leave up to you to judge. Maybe it has something to do with the as usual frankness of China Daily and other newspapers here who claim that half of the 90,000 Beijing prostitutes still don’t insist on using a condom. So, does that mean we have prostitutes in Beijing? Really? And who did count them? I guess must be the whatever police, reason why we never see them helping traffic improve. Probably in Shanghai: case1: there are no prostitutes there, case 2: the Blue Condom promotion has been efficient.
As for that Band, well, some Chinese seem to be pretty upset about it, I mean the title, because nobody explains why there is something wrong with the content. Now, suddenly, the band’s type of music anyway is not “liked” by Chinese people. Seems who wrote that never went to a disco here.
