Underwire Saves Life!

So who remember my post about the bullet proof bra from those wacky Germans?
Remember my promise for a mind blowing response?

Well here it is.
UNDERWIRE SAVES LIVES.
Or a life. In particular, the life of a 57 year old woman from Detroit. She was innocently observing three people break into her neighbors home, when one of them fired a shot at her.
That shot was deflected.
BY HER UNDERWIRE.
Wonderwoman would be proud.

Police Sgt Eren Stephens Bell is quoted to have said on the matter, "We need to get some bulletproof vests made from that. It is some strong wire."

Sorry, but did anyone else giggle at the image of a police man wearing an old lady bra? Cause I did.

She did sustain injury, but not nearly as much as she would have if the bullet hadn't been deflected.
I wonder what Carmen Kibatan has to say about that!

BRAS FOR SAFETY LADIES.
Keep your girls safe!

Now, I've Heard of Bullet Proof Vests, But This...

So apparently in August, 2008, the German Police force debuted their new bulletproof bra for policewomen.
They look like a standard sports bra, except for their bullet deterring properties, and the fact that the word "police" is printed all along the bottom band.
Which I think is pretttttttyyyyyy weird. You don't rush up to a criminal and throw your shirt up to identify yourself as a police officer. Or do you?

Why they can't just have bulletproof vests is beyond me, but what really gets me is that in the article, Carmen Kibatan who is an adviser on equal opportunities for the Hamburg-based Bundespolizei (Germany's federal police force) says "I always thought normal bras posed a safety risk and I wanted to change that."
My question is, what exactly has her bra ever done to her?

It's said in the article that the wire and plastic parts of the bra can pose a risk when hit with a bullet.
.
..
...
Guess what else poses a risk?

A BULLET.
Just saying.

But these are now an issued part of the police uniform female police officers receive, and they have their choice of styles (which are limited), and also, are optional.

Ruediger Carstens says, "This was pioneering work. The safety of our officers is paramount."
Well, hats (or bras) off to safety!

I have a response to this which I will post later, and it'll blow your mind. So stay tuned!

Life Saving Emergency Bra

Have you ever been walking down the street, worried about radiation, and wished you had a mask that could keep you safe from dangerous chemicals? Have you ever wished your bra could support you, and keep you safe?

Apparently designer  Dr. Elena Bodnar has. As a young physician she witnessed some of the effects of  Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in 1986, and came to produce the Emergency Bra.

And what exactly is an Emergency Bra you ask?

An Emergency Bra is a lovely contraption that works as a normal bra, and then breaks into two fully functional, face masks that can filter out dangerous chemicals.

Watch the video for a bunch of old guys breathing in some good old fashioned boob sweat.

To quote the good doctor,

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't that wonderful that women have two breasts, not just one? We can save not only our own life, but also the life of a man of our choice next to us."

Admittedly, it looks kind of silly, but hey. Radiation sucks face.

The bra comes in limited colors, styles, and sizes, but is available for retail sale, for a pretty acceptable price.

Check it out here.

Also, men, don't feel left out! You can buy an Emergency Shirt!

Safety and protection from radiation for everyone!
