Meet the “marriage hunting” bra, unveiled today in Tokyo.

It features a digital marriage countdown clock and, being a bra, it is worn around the midriff.

Further proof the Japanese are weird...
Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

So, what do you think NSG? A good product idea or no?

Hmm *books a flight to Japan to look for women who's clock is close to 0.*

:D

Wait, now you think they were THINKING when they made it!?

it looks extremely uncomfortable.

What happens when the bra reaches zero and the woman is still single? Does it explode? I bet it explodes...

Trust me, this isn't the weirdest bra that these guys have come up with. The baby making set is much, much more disturbing.

Wait, now you think they were THINKING when they made it!?

Yeah, I figure they thinking "There's gotta be people who will buy this."

Trust me, this isn't the weirdest bra that these guys have come up with. The baby making set is much, much more disturbing.

You've gotta share...

You live in a very very disturbing place.

One of my friend actually invited me to go to Japan a long time ago. He was going to set me up with a Japanese woman, but it never came about.

Sometimes I think about making a 2 week trip to Japan, going sight seeing, and maybe going to some of the clubs to see if I could pick up a nice Japanese woman.

if you want to keep her, try vietnam instead.

Why Vietnam?

Why Vietnam?
i read an article a while back (but within the last 12 months) that said korean men are going to vietnam for brides. i think an american would be at least as successful as a korean.

Here are some of the places that I think American men go to look for brides.

1. Philippines
2. Russia
3. Vietnam
4. Thailand
5. I think Romania, not sure.

Of course the men go to "free" the women from these places. However, if I do marry a foreign woman, I'd want her to embrace her culture, and ancestry. I don't want her to forget about it just because she lives in America. I'm also not looking for a submissive woman, that just gets boring after awhile. I want an equal, someone who has her own ideas and passions and will butt head with me over them.

Sometimes conflict in a relationship is a good thing.

would you consider a russian or romanian bride?

its quite a minefield to avoid the women who are trying to scam a desperate man.

Heh tell me about it. Which is #1 reason why I'm not looking at "mail order brides" that hard. I'd rather be single than to be scammed by someone who just wants her green card and half of my stuff.

yeah.

i doubt that there is any woman from anywhere that you could bring to this country and not have her turn american in short order.

You live in a very very disturbing place.
Yes, yes I do.

Well, if you wanted a one night stand I know of a few areas that attract girls looking for the gaijin notch on their bedpost, but getting hitched takes a lot longer and a lot more work.

And no, there is no truth to the rumor that Japanese girls just throw themselves at American guys.

Notice those places also tend to be fairly popular destination for Johns going on vacation. Coincidence? I think not.

Obviously. Americans would never use sexuality - much less the sexuality of the female form - as an advertising tool.

Now all they need is to invent a 'marriage-seeking' codpiece with timer for the man to wear.

Oh, thank you very much for that image. Maybe they could attach the engagement ring required to make the bra burst into song somewhere ... strategic.

And how does the bra know it's an engagement ring, anyway? It could be the ring off a beer can, for goodness' sake.

Now I want a hamburger damn it.

Between this and the "Mustard?" thread, so do I!

While I'm dismayed by what tempts you to purchase - you could have said that now you wanted Paris Hilton... so I guess it's not as bad as it could have been.

She's a nasty bitch.

However, nice tits sell burgers. It's a known fact.

I'm old fashioned. For me, a good burger sells burgers. And putting Paris Hilton in your ad is proably one of the better ways of assuring I don't buy your product. (Except "Repo", obviously).

Trust me, this isn't the weirdest bra that these guys have come up with. The baby making set is much, much more disturbing.

the "Shop till you Drop" set... I mean... has anyone stripped off their bra because they needed a bag?

I was gonna do a thread about this.

Haven't seen it, no; but who knows what women get up to in the ladies' restroom?

can they take their produce into the restroom to bag it? :D

Well don't Japanese women feel they have to be married by 25? I'm thinking that's why this is made, to make the over 26 women feel worthless.

Well, it used to be said that a woman is like a Christmas cake, great by 24, not so good after that. But since the marrying age has been getting older and older, the saying has changed so that women are like New Year's Eve noodles, fantastic until 31, but worthless after that.

So what happens when it goes beyond 31? There's no more numbers in the calender exceeding that except years.

I'm sure they'll come up with something.

Brilliant!

Its Japanese, of course it does. It also explodes if you try to take it off, or if you stay in the same, potential-husband free area for too long.

This is still better than the alarm clock that jumps off the table when it's time for you to get up, and wheels away so you have to chase it.

If I had that thing I'd just buy a gun and kill it.

There is an alarm clock that you can only turn off using a gun that comes with it. You have to fire at the target in order to turn it off. :D

I love my random internet browsing button (aka Stumpleupon).

I'm fair sure any gun would actually turn it off.

Like, you know, not being so disgustingly sexist.
