GPS Panties – Joke, Viral Advertising, Or The Future?

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

The Register has a good write up on GPS panties. These panties are designed for the cheating wife or as an electronic chastity belt for the daughter. Besides the Global Positioning System (GPS) telling you the location of the wearer of the panties, it transmits body temperature and heart beat data to the husband or father’s computer. See posting Cheating wife? Try GPS panties | The Register for more details on GPS panties.

The The Contagious Media Project is the sponsor of the forget-me-not panties that offers the GPS panties. The GPS panties site even has some great testimonies from fathers and husbands.
