A Japanese lingerie maker has created this bra to celebrate the World Cup. (Apparently here they're celebrating the World B-Cup. There, I've said it before anyone else does.)

The limited run of bras will go for $132.

As a straight male, innovative lingerie is not something I will complain about. However, the old trick of "thinking of sports" will no longer work...

The Armageddon Bra.

From the article:
Now the lingerie firm is cashing in on the nation's doomsday boom with a hi-tech bra that alerts its wearer to incoming missiles.

Presented at a fashion show yesterday, the "Armageddon Bra" includes a sensor on the shoulder strap, and a control box to warn of objects falling from the skies. Ideally it should be worn without outer garments to work efficiently.

I'm speechless at the world cup bra. (Though, like Tony, I won't go so far as to actually object to the picture, and if anybody has more they might as well post them.) I guess the logical question is, are they selling matching panties? I suppose we should be lucky nobody thought of doing this to market the NFL or the NBA. (Or did they??)

[wonders why they aren't seeing any marketing of Star Wars: Episode II lingerie.. they seem to have everything else]
