Lingerie Fitted With GPS Tracking System

Posted by samzenpus on from the tracking-the-sexy dept.

Lingerie maker Lucia Lorio has caused outrage with her latest creation, a new line of lingerie that comes equipped with a GPS tracking system. Feminists have objected strongly to the new line. "It is outrageous to think that men can buy this, programme it and give it to their partners and then monitor them," said Claudia Burghart, leader of a Berlin feminist group. Lorio counters, "This collection ... is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off." I'm glad I'll finally be able to ask, "Is that a tracking unit under your dress or are you just happy to see me?"

    Of course the whole point of this line of lingerie is to get Ms Lorio into the news. Thanks to the apparently limitless supply of feminist who are ready to be outraged at any publicity stunt - no matter how transparent - she has succeeded, too.

      Hmm...and what is their beef? It isn't like that many feminists are gonna be wearing lingerie, eh? Aren't they more for flannel and Doc Martin's?

      Me, I'm not in the habit of seeking out women who have bulges under their dresses...

    ...it's lingerie with a pocket and a GPS. That's dumb. It might be mildly interesting if the GPS was actually somehow integrated with the outfit...
