So all these geriatric Japanese ladies who are as old as *28* are wearing this novelty bra that counts down the marital clock because they’re tired of waiting around for prince charming.
(via)
The countdown stops when an engagement ring is (finally) inserted, after which the “Wedding March” begins to play. Sounds super smart to me! See for yourself (and pretend you understand what they’re talking about):
Did I mention there’s also a solar-powered bra on the market in Japan? It is both environmentally and artificially green.

The solar-powered bra “can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.” Ooook. So that’s what she’s doing?

wow… ! The chainlink straps! The oven mitts! The third arm (?!)… and my favorite: the inkpen pocket (pen for writing down telephone numbers of prospective husbands?)!
a little bit of useless info. In Japan, they use a stamp (small black object on her right ¨pocket¨) with de family kanji characters instead of signature with pen. The ballpen is for filling the form at city hall, then ¨sign¨ with the stamp and submitt the ¨getting married¨ form. Insteresting is Triumph organizing this show. But the 3 tv programs compiled in this video make very clear that this bra won`t be sold anywhere.
Wait. Why does a bra need power? I mean, I’ve got some pretty hefty ta-tas, but seriously. They’re not electrically heavy.
I so want this to be a challenge on the next America’s Next Top Model.
NONE of them will be able to show it off with the aplomb of this model.
Okay, I may be stupid, but… the countdown stops when you insert a ring. Ok. What is it counting down to? What is “zero” set as?
Wow this bra is what is wrong with the world.
Ya the first bra is stupid. But I so WANT the second solar powered bra. Well I want it as a t-shirt or a jacket because I could so use this. Maybe a whole bunch of them, so when I go to the beach I can spread them over my sun umbrella and power my radio or ipod.
My Japanese boy clarifies that yes, this is basically a novelty item and a sort of “art” piece that’s not meant to be marketed or even taken very seriously. Lirian’s right about the stamp-and-pen accessories too.
What does it do when it hits zero? I mean, you get the wedding march when you insert the ring, do you get like a funeral dirge if it reaches zero?
Also, oven mitts? Really? I get the countdown clock, I get the pen and the stamp, okay it’s crazy but crazy is Japan’s principal export. I just thought Japan was a little more forward thinking than “oh, you’re married? Time to head to the kitchen!”

Haha you’d think, but I guess some things don’t change no matter how progressive the country. Oops, sorry. I should’ve have spoken my mind. It’s time to make a pie.
That video is like a bad pr0n0; cheesy music and they keep playing the same segments over and over.
hey the gilr in the green is not really a bride to be if u know what I mean…….
Solar schmolar – why aren’t more people worried about the vestigial third arm in that last photo? It looks plastic, so is it some sort of… toy… that’s charging???
Y’know, the sad thing is, a lot of us “late twenties ladies” have been made to feel quite old! LOL I am 29 and am getting the “you’re not getting any younger dear! when are you and your bf getting married?” from my supposedly independent mom. lol Should I invest in one of these or should I just be a pal to the old man and get the one that doubles as a phone charger?
I got married at 32, and had my first baby at 28…. LOL But I loved the hanky with her blood type, date of birth and other info! Is that in case you get killed by an axe murder on a (wrong) date?
