Gentlemen (and ladies) start your engines!

I am back. Again, I am struck by shit I have found on the Internet. I wanted to hit upon the local supermarket, yet better things keep coming up (pardon the pun, but you will understand soon enough). I came across two things between yesterday and today that I just had to share with y'all.

The first is that the FDA and Pfizer are reporting about forty cases of blindness in users of Viagra (see about the pun in the paragraph above). Now I am not sure if that is a real dilemma, hard cock and blindness or limp dick and being able to see it. I am thinking that it does conjure the image of blind guys staggering around with hard ons using them as white canes, assuming the use of Viagra by a Caucasian. It is just the sick image I am getting. I am also thinking that it could bring a whole new meaning to the term "beer goggles". This is a way that really ugly women could get laid (I know that the last statement could be construed as offensive, so if you are offended by it, Fuck Off!). Think about it, guy with a hard on that won't go away and a desire to use it, cannot see, perhaps anything goes.

The second is even worse in some ways. There is a company in Japan that is now making and selling panties with GPS built-in. You have to see the website (forgetmenotpanties). The testimonials are a scream. In one, a father, who bought the deluxe version, with biometric sensors that measure heart rate and heat as well, for his teenage daughter. This way he knows where she is and if she is getting hot and heavy with a guy, he can call her on her cellphone and put an end to that. Of course, that only works until her boyfriend gets her out of her panties. The other testimonial has a husband who suspected his wife of cheating on him, tracing her and her panties to a motel room with one of her work colleagues.

The minimum price (GPS alone) is $99 US for a pair of panties (they are cotton and rather stylish but no thong style, which is too bad). That seems rather pricey but I guess in terms of wanting to spend you time tracing your wife, girlfriend, daughter or any other female you want to have the panties, it is priceless.

I would say that I have a lot of time on my hands and even I do not have the time or desire to trace my wife's movements via her panties. Though, I do have to say this may be one of the greatest uses of modern technology. How many "honor" killings is this technology use going to lead to? That is just a thought. The heavier thought is the use of GPS chips in cell phones and PDAs, Big Brother will be watching. Thankfully, as a bit of a neoLuddite, I will not be found, unless I use my bank card, credit card or computer. Oh well, I guess my life on the run starts.....NOW! Ciao and have a great weekend.

Just visited the panty site. There are so many shades of wrong in that I don't know where to begin!

I wonder how they handled the user testing on that product?
