Apr 29 2008E-Ink Jacket May Get You Punched, Groped
The BLU e-ink jacket is a concept from Lunar Design. It's an electronic fabric jacket that will shock all your chesthair off in a rainstorm.
Imagine a jacket that could display your mood throughout the day, offer maps on your sleeve for city navigation, or flash intriguing advertisements to passersby -- a fashionable twist on the age-old human sandwich board.
Hrrm, interesting. Because people love ads so much I'm sure they'll be ecstatic to see you've turned yourself into a walking "Head On" commercial. Just don't be surprised if someone applies their fist directly to your forehead. Because they will. That said, I would pretend like I needed to see that girl's map in the picture. Let's see here, if I follow the green-line across Zipper River and around Mammary Mountain...ah yes, Nippleville -- that's where I'm headed.
Thanks to Karina, who looks stunning in e-ink and fingerpaint, for the tip

the dudes behind her are drawing up plans to mug her when the camera gets put away.

Don't quite understand the necessity for the oversized neck feature. Too much material left over maybe. A bit like when God designed my penis, that was waaaay too much material left over.

I'm going to tape some printouts to my shirt, take pictures and send my "concept" out to all the tech blogs...

You know what this reminds me of? Uh, nothing really.......
Oh wait, it reminds me of the time I firebombed my best friends house because I mistakenly thought he stole my GI Joe. Come to find out it was under my bed the whole time. Although, my friend did learn an important lesson which is that I am quite insane.

Scott, you're in an interesting mood today.
And I prefer to keep my emotions (if I'm feeling any) to myself and not out there for all to see on my chest. The only thing one should be able to tell by my ample sweater melons is whether or not it's cold.
And that's my thought on this ridiculous jacket.

It couldn't be used for sex play/robot fantasy either because men won't ask for directions.
9. Scott - April 29, 2008 1:37 PM
I for one don't need any directions as I am what you call, a master of lovemaking.
Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.

Ugh, "lovemaking" is such a silly term. But then again, I detest romance. If it takes flowers, chocolates, or diamonds to get into someones pants...well, maybe that's just not the person for you.
But intellectual conversations and fun debates make me hot, so what do I know.
