After seeing a recent recent development in the lingerie industry, I have decided to stat a new regular post called Dumb Green Ideas. In the past, I have written about a cardboard computer and the click and grow that would fit into this category, but this takes the cake (the rice cake that is). The Japaneese company that brought you the solar powered bra and the chopstick bra has developed a rice planter bra. While, I do appreciate the idea of container gardening, this is a little ridiculous. As you can see from the picture, this is basically a flower pot cut in half and strapped to your chest. What I really want to know though, is what are you supposed to do once the rice starts growing? The only real use for these that I can see is as really poor camouflage if you ever have to hide in a rice paddy. So next time Triumph International tries to develop a new bra, I think they should stick to ideas like the reusable shopping bag bra. At least that one, I could see someone using. Then again, I doubt many housewives want to get undressed to go to the grocery store.
Sorry, the video is in Japanese, so I have no idea how they are pulling this off.
