Anti-spying undergarments
Thanks to new "Shot Guard" underwear from Cramer Japan, female athletes, students and children are now protected from infrared photography.
It seems that Japan's legendary "hentai" (perverts) have found a new way to get their jollies: snapping photos of female athletes through their sports wear by adapting the night-function capabilities of ordinary camcorders to take infrared photos of unsuspecting women & children in the daytime.
Cramer's technicians came up with an effective way to beat the heat and promptly took "Shot Guard" underwear to market.
According to Cramer Japan's president Takashi Hokazono, "By introducing conditions that make photography more difficult, the number of malicious photographers will decrease."
Hokazono did not explain how it works, but. Shiny Shiny suggests that it could involve "chilling your nether regions."
