What women really needed.

Post by Cpt.Jericho » Thu, 30. Jan 14, 00:08

If there is one thing Japanese can do then it's crazy stuff: A bra that opens when the wearer meets her true love.
Boils down to this: The bra has a heart rate sensor and sends the data to a mobile phone, which determines if the thing opens or not. I wouldn't be surprised if that also triggered dozens of pop-ups with wedding dress ads and such.

Japan, you did it again. :D :shock:

Seriously, Japan, WTF?! :)

The article mentions the inconvenient timing aspect, but there's another side to it. Say that a couple have been married 20 years or more. By that time, even in the most loving of relationships, there won't be the same excitement as first romance. If the woman is relying on this device to undo the bra, they'll be trying to work up the excitement all night. ;-)

You have to feel sorry for that poor wench that never finds true love, if she puts that bra on she will never able to remove it, she would even have to be buried in the thing.

Methinks that's the wrong piece of safety lingerie to "help save women from one-night stands with less-than-savory men". It's the piece lower down that needs to be kept on. :wink:

:roll: oh, electronic love response self opening bra. how cute. can't be taken seriously surely. would be a novelty item, maybe for vanlentines day gift from stupid boyfriend. While I can see the fun value, there might be much grief caused by this thing, heh ...

scenario 1) Valentines day. boy gives girl bra. waits expectantly for girly to appear with new lingerie,. Bra fail to open, girls vital signs are not received as 'tru love' when she comes out, sees him drooling in expectation. girl thinks, "This must mean I don't love him", and ends relationship. Like star sign incompatibility thing. Ex Boyfriend is devastated, asks for returnd of bra, at home later, he burns it and the house catches fire.
(according to love by your stars, only 1 in twelve people can be considered compatible, and all others are disqualified, how stupid is that? talk about extreme prejudice ...)

scenario 2) Research for TNBT. Bernd and the team go on another pub crawl in New Zealand to check out some pole dancers again, (additional research for XRebirth 2), and sees this auto bra in action like this; a 90 year old grandma in space costume comes in wearing this bra, sees Bernd and lo and behold it pops open at him, and her tits fly out in awesome splendour. She says to him "Show me your wares." Instead of running for his life, Bernd says, "hey cool guys, lets implement that in XRebirth 2! And put one on Yisha! We can make this into a mini game!"

scenario 3) ... be my guest ... :D

edit; added some stuff here and there, couldn't help myself :oops:

I'll repost this. I posted it before, but then saw it was already mentioned in the comments on the page and deleted it.

The assumption here is that only "lurv" would set it off, but there are many reasons why someone's heart might race.

Suppose a woman is at am important board meeting or maybe a job interview.

Under the stress of presenting her ideas for improving the company's performance her heart rate rises and her bra pops open.

As to the purported intent of the device, it would be far more useful if it could run a background check on the guy to determine whether he was an honest fellow or a "player". I'd imagine she'd be perfectly capable of deciding for herself if she's physically attracted to him.

Surely this is not meant to be taken seriously? maybe in Japan where they seem to want robots to rule the earth, but anywhere else? I mean the Japanese even brought us Dog wigs and toupees!

Should I merge this thread with "favourite future tech"? :-)

I wouldn't say the thought behind it is as noble as being sexually motivated. It's just plain capitalism. :twisted:
