    The possibilities for the PRON industry abound.

    Now they can show it all before they take it all off.

    Sweet! Now I can build the perfect Tron suit that I always dreamed of! Hopefully, no one will think I'm weird when I wear it to work...

      It would certainly seem that it is too late for the guy in the picture.

    I ALREADY pay far to much money to display brand name logos! This really needs a Soviet Russia joke.

    Or a joke about the differences between 'to', 'two', and 'too'.

    As a cardriver, I will WANT to hit you, if you are wearing a bright flashing jacket. Blinking LED's are annoying enough. It's not a safety issue. If blinking stuff is safer, LED-lamps is enough. Bicycles are not supposed to blink, you are not an ambulance.

    You'd better have good security if you want to avoid the "Kick Me" worm of 2008.

    Maybe not. They've had enough trouble with click-fraud, that they might not want to open the 'inappropriate touching' can of worms.

  9. Sequins for the digital age? by hummdinger02 · · Score: 4, Funny

    The thing that concerns me most about this would be the potential application in reviving disco. Then comes roller disco and then Kryogenics is used to bring back the decesed members of the Gibb family. AND IT ALL STARTS with the sequins for the digital age.
