aarrrghhh
shame on reuters for reporting this crap.
though perhaps i have to respect triumph for so masterfully exploiting the press. this is the company that gave us the chopsticks bra, the baseball bra, and whatever else.

at least reuters tokyo also reported on the man-bra. (remember that?)

Just listened again and realized that this was a "concept" bra, a novelty item not actually manufactured or sold. I was pretty confused as to why both the reporter and the PR person in the video seemed to not acknowledge how idiotic this thing is. Actually, it's still kind of weird that they don't

Wow. Uhm, what Mr. Pony said, and I'd like to add, that IMHO, it's kinda sad that someone would actually take the time to create and put that much attention to detail into something like this. On the other hand, my self-esteem is a bit restored.

what, you guys don't like conceptual art? this piece reflects changing roles in japan, as well as the commodification of the human boob.

Mr. Pony said...

Oh, speaking of which...

You know, it would probably be a good thing if women obsessed about having bigger boobs would use that super high-tech bra instead of getting breast implants. Would be a healthier option. But many Americans would probably want a version that would make you much bigger than the one in this video. Sigh.

Also, there is this.
