Japanese Company Creates 'Busty' New Apparel To Get People To Vote

International Japan has unveiled a new concept bra called the “Voter Turnout Lift-UP! Bra.”
The silver, bustier-type bra is modeled after an aluminum ballot box, complete with lots of rivets and a pocket for holding ballots that have been cast. The kanji characters for “ballot box” are printed beneath the cups, which are heavily padded so that the wearer can also increase her bust size while doing her part to increase voter turnout.

The bottom consists of a wrap-around mini-skirt fashioned from paper ballots, which are made of a special type of plastic-coated paper resistant to the elements. A small pencil case also attaches to the waist.

According to Triumph’s press release, voter turnout in Japan, which averaged 70% to 90% about 30 years ago, has fallen to between 10% and 30% in recent years.

I could'nt help laughing when I first read this, I mean it's such a great idea, but no one,
to my knowledge has ever flown with it before now.

Leave it to the Japanese to come up with stuff like this.

That's the reward the men get for voting.

Great idea, but maybe the Japanese people have just realized that voting is a waste of time and effort as all the politicians are controlled from else where any how!

But for Japan that really is quite tame, I would have expected her "Ballot Box" to have been something else.

Typical Japanese.

And their wacky ideas. I would know. =D

with a fit bird like that in all the voting places
voters would increase instantly

I'm not even going to ask why you were on a website called pinktentacle.com.

Jeez, do I really have that bad a reputation?

I think it's more or less a translation thing, like the original Japanese term would mean something
different, but since Internet domains are generally in English, it did'nt translate like they
would have liked it to.


It's not a bad website, I swear, it's a news-blog that deals with all things Japan, written by a
person living there.
