I was posting RSS feeds to Zoorag.Com (yeah I do article posting and brief commentary there too) yesterday when I ran across this article about women in the UK being all uptight over a new line of lingerie that can be tracked by GPS.  A real "must have" for the holidays, right? Right......

Of course, some feminists have their panties in a bunch (I crack me up) because they believe that all insecure partners need is the ability to track their partner by simply logging into the panty code.  The things that guys come up with to keep track of us right? No.  These "bust that cheating bitch" line of panties was designed by a Brazilian lingerie designer Lucia Lorio who says that the line of "Find Me If You Can" lingerie is for the "modern, techno-savvy woman".  What's the point?!

According to Lorio, the lingerie is designed for the protection of women who are going out alone.  Umm, that sounds great in theory but looking at this image, this is not the kind of lingerie that I would throw on with my jeans and head out for a night on the town in.  Now, it seems to me that the kind of woman who would be roaming the night streets in this lingerie does not need a GPS tracking system, she needs a lawyer.  This lingerie is just perfect for the modern, stay at home pimp who needs to keep a close eye on his merchandise from the comfort of his laptop.  No more pimps having to roam the streets with their working girls to make sure she's where she is supposed to be, he can now just kick back, surf myspace and check in with his crew from time to time.

All jokes aside, it's a novel idea at best and most novelty items are totally pointless.  This lingerie sells for between about $1000 to 1200 USD with the price difference being in the level of tracking capability.  Lorio claims that this is really not a way for jealous partners to keep tabs on their significan other because the wearer has the capability to turn the tracking ability off.  Since it's known that the GPS can be disabled by the wearer, I have to pose my question again, what's the point? 

I was joking with my bf earlier and told him that I'd buy and wear them *evil grin* and knowing me, I'd tie the panties to the undercarriage of some truck and let him play that game of hide and GPS seek game .  If I needed for him to know where I was that badly, I'd do what I usually do, call and talk his ear off....lol.

So, what say you??  Is this line of GPS enabled lingerie a luxury item built for her safety or is it a total waste of time and money?  Also, would you wear such a thing or purchase the lingerie for your partner?  Why or why not?
