Photo Trend Alert! Would You Buy These Smart Pants For Your Cell Phones?

Nude cell phones are so last year, at least in Japan. Today’s strange underwear news deals with SMART PANTS™, aka cell phone underwear, which is apparently taking Japan by storm. I know that the Japanese love testing out new fashion trends, but I'm not sure I could have ever seen this coming.

A recent article on a Japanese subculture website explained the phenomenon, which began when Japanese toy manufacturer Bandai Co. brought the undies to market in March of this year. SMART PANTS™ are the brainchild of a Bandai employee, 27-year-old Hisashi Moriuchi, who told the Japan Subculture Research Center, "I was asked by my boss to come out with something amusing to sell in capsule vending machines. So I thought it would be funny to dress up my iPhone with underwear."

Since March, Bandai has released a number of collections–most recently, a collection that includes iPad-sized SMART PANTS™. Hisashi explained the strange new place for panties like this, "The purpose of the smart pants is partly to protect the home button of your smart phone from being accidentally pushed. People wear pants to protect their sexual organs, their most sensitive spot. Well, on the Android phones, that’s the home button and the same with the iPhone. It just feels right to cover it up nicely."

Since this past spring more than 1 million cell phone panties have been sold. SMART PANTS™ are currently sold in Japan, Hong Kong, and China, but Bandai is planning a UK launch some time soon; Europe might come soon after. No word yet on the United States.

I'm not sure this will get to Nigeria. I don't think Nigerians are mature enough to handle this trend anyway. Funny but weird trend. lol

What do you think? Would you ever put SMART PANTS™ on your cell phone?

Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say. Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity firm, said it was “fairly dangerous” to continue using the 12-year-old operating system because after the deadline “victims can’t defend themselves.” “I certainly wouldn't run Windows XP after the 8th," Meyers said in an interview. Microsoft announced six years ago it will no longer provide security patches or technical support for the out-of-date software. Yet about one-third of computers around the world -- or about 500 million PCs -- still run Windows XP. On Microsoft’s website , a clock ticks down to next month’s Windows deadline an...
