GPS Underwear

(Brazil) Lingerie maker Lucia Lorio of Brazil is producing and marketing women's unmentionables with global positioning system tracking devices.


Looking closely, one can see that the GPS device is about the size of a conventional pager and hardly an enhancement to lingerie. Who really wants a clunky electronic gizmo attached to diaphanous and seductive lingerie?

Nevertheless, it's being reported that feminists are outraged, calling the GPS lingerie the equivalent of a chastity belt. I personally think that assertion is a media invention. I've heard no outrage from leading feminists and the chastity belt comparison is ludicrous. The key feature of a chastity belt is that it cannot be removed. Nothing prevents a women from removing the GPS lingerie. Therefore, it cannot assure chastity.

About the only benefit to be derived from the GPS underwear is that it could be found if lost or stolen. Otherwise, it's just a stupid marketing gimmick.

Bt the way, expect to spend a thousand dollars or so to purchase the clunky skivvies.
