Japanese Company Unveils Solar-Powered Bra May 14, 2008

I’ve always maintained that hooters are an underutilized resource. It’s terrain that has many potential, and unrealized, possibilities. Surely, I thought, there is some way that we can enlist those luscious orbs in the Fight Against Global Warming™

Now, finally, there is a company in Japan that agrees with me.

TOKYO — Can lingerie really empower women?

That’s what one company apparently was thinking in its quest to design a solar-powered bra capable of generating enough electricity to charge a cell phone or iPod, Reuters reported.

Triumph International Japan showed off its “Solar Power Bra” on Wednesday in Tokyo, but it will not be in stores just yet.

The environmentally friendly, green-colored brassiere includes a solar belt that goes around the stomach, but its creator admits that “people usually cannot got outside without wearing clothes over it” and says it should not be washed or worn in the rain to avoid damage.

You know, we have some weird freakin’ people roaming the cities and even the countryside in this nation of ours, but for the most part we’re relatively normal, with the exception of certain parts of Idaho, Wisconsin, Texas, and all of Ohio. But the Japanese as a whole have gone batshit crazy.

Wow. As much sunshine as we get in the summer here, I can see this should become the stylish thing to wear in Texas this year.

A solar-powered bra and g-string. Put the cowboy hat on top of that and it just screams.
