Lingerie fitted with GPS now available
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Feminists around the world are in an outrage over anew line of lingerie
that comes complete with a GPS tracking system. The lingerie/GPS com
bination has been described as a modern-day, high-tech alternative to the
classic chastity belt.
Insecure men can buy the undergarments for their wives, program them and
monitor them. The garment includes lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux fur col
lar, with the GPS device nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the
waist.
Still, women have the option to turn off the GPS. The line’s creator said she hopes
the line will be used more for protection during a late night out alone.
NOTED. For every year from 1940 to 2000,
if the Washington Redskins won in the week
before the presidential election, the incumbent
party also scored a victory. The only exception
to the rule was in 2004 when the Redskins lost,
yet Bush still won a re-election.
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Redskins
Monday, 23-6. Thus, Obama had a 94.4 percent
chance of winning, according to the prediction.
