A New Meaning for “Beer Belly”

Friday, June 20th, 2008

The bierbauch (which in German literally means “beer belly”) is essentially a camelbak for your stomach, making beer consumption easier than ever.  Also from the makers of the bierbauch comes the getraenke büstenhalter– a  wine bra, so women can partake in the drinking action.  Germans are equal opportunity drinkers!

Buy a bierbauch here for just $34.95.

They Grow Up So Quickly

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Last April, British supermarket chain Tesco removed a model of padded bra from their shelves.

It was designed for 7-to-10-year-olds.

A Tesco representative said:
“It is a product designed for girls at that self-conscious age when they are just developing. It is designed to cover up, not flatter, and was developed after speaking to parents.”

Here are two possible answers to many many questions that come to mind.

Touching or Typing

There is at least one major downside to designer Erik De Nijs’s pants:
“Are you grabbing yourself, or just typing, or both?!?”

Iron Man

Thought I would hate it.
It was surprisingly good:
four stars out of five.

Downey and Paltrow

OBEY OBAMA

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

One of my favorite vendors at this year’s Maker Faire was Oakland-based 57ThirtyThree.

They had a nice selection of stylish print tees and the second I saw it, I had to buy their Shepard Fairey-esque OBAMA Tee (and instantly put it on).

For the remainder of the afternoon at the Faire, I had dozens of people ask me where I got the cool shirt.

Twenty MILFs, fifty eighth grade boys, and no rules!
And tonight . . . one winner!
Welcome to MILF Island!”

BPOW: Choose Your Own (Bacon) Adventure

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

This week, I bring you two bacon products– one tame; one risqué (and possibly NSFW). CHOOSE YOUR OWN BACON ADVENTURE! (OK, so what if it’s not as complex as those books that were all the rage when I was in elementary school?)

Tame Bacon: “Pocket Bacon”

Pocket Bacon‘ is crocheted from red and white yarn can be yours for the low price of $5.00 + S/H. As the artist says, this is “seriously the dumbest thing I have ever made but you guys seem to like it” and “You can use this as a bookmark but other than that I am at a loss, I mean, you SO TOTALLY need this.” Click the image below to order:

Risqué Bacon: The Bacon Bra

The Bacon Bra is quite possibly the strangest application of an uncooked meat product that I’ve seen– well, it comes close (read #31693)– and I’m not sure The Bacon Bra is safe for work, but I’m going to post it anyways, since there’s no nudity or anything. Suffice to say, if you hear your boss approaching, stop reading this page and switch to another tab in your browser until the coast is clear. Or, if you work in the garment industry, perhaps your boss will feel you’ve discovered an entire new line of products. You be the judge.

The Bacon Bra

The good news here is that you can procure a bacon bra at your local supermarket without paying shipping and handling (woman not included; sorry guys). Personally, I’m thinking of creating and patenting the Bacon Jock Strap. Either that or the Bacon Manzier (the Bacon Bro?). Thoughts?
