The latest in wearable electronics

U.C. Berkeley cultural historian Carla Hesse once noted that when printing presses become available in a country (or sometimes, government when restrictions on publishing disappear), often the first things that get published are anti-Semitic literature and pornography. We don't like to admit it, but some of the most imaginative uses of new technologies are also the shadiest.

Which brings me to Glizmodo's, umm, coverage of a new product: the LED-enabled G-string. As Gadget Candy explains, users can "enter a message of up to 120 characters." A perfect opportunity for either user reinvention, or the windup of a joke (add your own punch line).

The retailers describe it as an example of "communifashion."
