It’s a Bra and Gas Mask

The emergency bra/gas mask combo that has won awards is now for sale on its website reports newser. For $29.95 you can receive 2 gas masks that double as a fancy bra, or is it a fancy bra made of two gas masks?

Inventor Elena Bodnar, who witnessed the devastating effects of the Chernobyl disaster, says readily available gas masks could have prevented many cases of radiation sickness.
“Ladies and gentlemen, isn’t that wonderful that women have two breasts, not just one?” Bodnar said last year when collecting an “Ig Nobel” prize for the invention. “We can save not only our own life, but also the life of a man of our choice next to us.” A “counterpart device for men” is in the works, according to CNET, but no word yet on what form it will take.
