Thanks for answering the question that I had before I made the jump Matthew. So this bra might actually short out and has the potential to kill you? So it's making the news why???? Oh yeah, it must be the half naked pretty girls doing the modeling!

And what would you think if the girl you were out with suddenly whipped out a straw and you saw her chest deflate right before your very eyes? This is just wrong on so many levels....

Truth be told, I think this whole Triumph eco-bra thing is a bit tongue-and-cheek, though as you say, the media does love half naked girls in lingerie! With that said, I don't know that I'd be attracted to a girl who took sips of water from her bosom during a first date...

But, it is nice to see that the Japanese are finding a way to blend their love of consumerism with some semblance of environmental sustainability. True, a good first step would probably be to simply carry eco-bags and proper chopsticks, but hey - the Solar Power bra is a start!
