Convergence is the word these days, and as the GPS unit is folded into the phone, and the phone is folded into the PDA, fewer devices are needed every day to accomplish the same tasks. This bra, for instance, is also a functioning gas mask. What, is that so hard to believe? If you or a loved one is under constant threat of gas attack, but still needs adequate support for her front parts, this is really the first and only solution necessary.
It was invented by a Chicago woman who felt that women in Chernobyl could have avoided breathing toxic particles if they’d had a gas mask near at hand — and where is nearer at hand than on your body? Not exactly going to be a million-seller, but hey, maybe they’ll pick up a few for the ladies working in hazardous materials labs.
it’s a “brask” :-)
Just wondering, how come it’s a guy wearing the mask on the left picture??
two cups = two masks, one for you and one for your companion.
And let the gay and single men die breathing gas.
So many horrible replies have formed in my thoughts (a)
Does nuclear accident makes one exempt from sexual harassment laws?
Cause, I can see some engineers pulling some nasty pranks with users of this product.
When H1N1 scare started in India in August, there was acute shortage of face mask in India. In Bangalore entrepreneurs immediately bought built cotton bra, and made face mask out of it. This was being sold like hotcakes and was found to be effective to some extent.
I know it’s about saving people’s lives, but it bothers me. I just see it as hugely sexist. Why not make men take off their underwear? It’s not like you *really* need to wear anything down there. Or better yet, just get everyone in hazardous areas to carry a gas mask with them…
A bra’s cups, unlike underwear from either gender, just happen to be almost exactly the same shape as a breathing mask. This isn’t sexist, it’s form begetting function.
If there’s any sexism to it, it’s the fact that we (guys) have to face either death in a gas leak or humiliation before.
