Thanks to new "Shot Guard" underwear from Cramer Japan, female
athletes, students and children are now protected from infrared
photography. Yes indeed, Japan's legendary "hentai" (perverts) have
found a new way to get their jollies: snapping photos
Those bastards!
of female
athletes through their sports wear. It seems that these Bizarro
Superman wannabes are adapting the night-function capabilities of
ordinary camcorders to take infrared photos of unsuspecting women &
children in the daytime. Since infrared radiation (known to us regular
folks as heat) is emitted by the skin, the modified cameras can
record the surface of said skin. The result is kind of dark and grainy,
much like the thoughts of the perverted paparazzi.
Luckily, word of this nefarious practice somehow got back to the creative geniuses at Cramer Japan
, one of the country's largest sportswear manufacturers. It wasn't long
before 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." I wouldn't bet on it,
Takashi, but certainly "Shot Guard" underwear should provide a little
peace of mind to female athletes and students who worry about
inadvertently auditioning for too-candid camera.
