Bottoms up

Underwear maker Triumph International has never shied away from cashing in on social or sporting affairs, producing goods marking the creation of a new baseball team, Japan’s energy saving ‘Warm Biz’ campaign and even the issue of postal privatisation. Now however it’s the more penetrating problem of the nation’s overall well-being.

Yet what may initially appear as a garment designed to rebuff possible rear-guard reconnaissance missions, is actually — and quite literally —about more productive forms of activity, namely halting the country’s falling birth rate; Triumph’s pioneering panties reading, ‘stop the birth rate decline’.

A drive that whilst hopefully successful, will not produce too many youngsters like the one pictured above.

    Here’s a related picture I found on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site – http://www.sfgate.com/n/pictures/2006/05/10/babies5.jpg

    Surely the sign would have been better on the front of the underwear?

    But I guess either way, a guy seeing that on the underwear of the woman he is about to sleep with probably isn’t going to stick around long enough to help solve the problem anyway…

    Chris, I think the idea is to stop backdoor transactions, accidental or otherwise, thus preventing falling birthrate. And a shitty cock.

    There’s about 6 billion people on earth, we don’t need anymore! How about adoption?
    Screw all you want safely (making sure u won’t get a kid) and just adopt.
