Bavarians are clamoring to add the latest leather pants to their wardrobes after a clothing manufacturer unveiled the new pants at the CeBit mega-tech convention in Hanover.
The manufacturer, Londonfrey, began with traditional lederhosen, but replaced the usual deer-antler buttons with five buttons that control an MP3 player. The pants come "complete with cell phone reception."
Londonfrey's Tectile line also includes a jacket with "fully integrated anti-insect capabilities." Weird.
Bavaria is an inebriated land of yodeling chocolatiers, the perfect place to combine absurdly traditional clothing with technological gadgetry. The actual motto for Bavaria is "Laptop and Lederhosen." Many beer gardens offer wireless Internet.
Tourists generally assume that all Germans are like Bavarians. In reality, Bavaria is the Texas of Germany, the only region where you will find large sections of the populace shit-housed on lager and wearing lederhosen.
