    Germany hails 'bullet-proof bra'


    By Tristana Moore
    BBC News, Berlin
    999999.gif

    _44890790_bra_226i.jpg The underwear is being issued to female officers as part of their uniform

    It is being dubbed the new "bullet-proof bra", a new kind of Wonderbra which could help save the lives of thousands of women police officers here in Germany. It may sound like a joke, but this is a serious matter - the policewoman who came up with the idea said normal bras can be dangerous when worn in combination with a bullet-proof vest.

    Just watch out for the ricochets :)

    Am I to understand that they're not bulletproof, just don't have a solid underwire?

    Slow news day for the BBC?

    Somewhere Hitler is spinning in his grave wondering what might have been if this had been invented 70 years ago.

    You're still pretty much screwed if you get shot in the face though.

    Bullet Proof Thongs ftw.

    If you think bullet proof thongs would stop a bullet to the face, you're wearing them wrong.

    They have the same effect as not wearing a bra, it's just a sports bra with no solids in it.

    Apparently, women who get shot in the fake tit don't die. Their implant bursts and they have a surface wound on their tit (possibly on the nipple if they get shot directly on the nipple), but they usually don't die.

    Was there any point to the bolded bit except to say nipple twice? Not that that's a bad thing or anything.
