It's time for the Name That Weird Invention! contest. Steven M. Johnson comes up with all sorts of wacky inventions in his weekly Museum of Possibilities posts. Can you come up with a name for this one? I can't even figure out what it's for! The commenter suggesting the funniest and wittiest name will win a free T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
Contest rules: one entry per comment, though you can enter as many as you like. Please make a selection of the T-shirt you want (may we suggest the Science T-shirt, Funny T-shirt, and Artist-designed T-shirt categories?) alongside your entry. If you don't select a shirt, then you forfeit the prize. Good luck!
Update: We have winners! A difficult selection, with many entries and many good entries, and ultimately Foosnark rose to the top with arBra, a clever palindrome. old_joe came in second with the Dance Enhancer. Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop!
This "Museum of Possibilities" crap has got to go. It's stupid and pointless beyond comprehension. Almost all the designs are unwieldy and pointless (except for that full-mouth tooth-brushing gizmo. I'll grant Mr. Johnson that one), and, failing either of those, just plain ugly. Who the hell wants boobs on her back?
In conclusion, please, please, please make it stop.

I blame it on hipsters
that said I'll toss out the name "Baktitz" Pronounced "Bockteets"
I Heart Teuthology
In conclusion to this tirade, don't berate this fellow for coming up with things that this culture has deemed ridiculous. Creativity and imagination is lacking in a sad, hardcore way anymore.
Also, I think they should be called "The Ladyfriend's Back Massage Bribe Brassiere". Whooooaaaahhhh yeaaaahhhhh!

You will be surprised at how much attention you will attract "coming AND going"!
"The Back-Bra" for your "back-boobs".
You'll love it!
Funny t-shirt
As a mild defense of this post, I would note that historically both men and women have adopted truly strange fashions that emphasized or exaggerated different parts of their anatomy. This post, which I would have called Decoy Mistress if I were allowed to submit my own name for it , is admittedly pretty strange!

First of all, as a girl - yeah, that would be awesome actually. Leaning on the cold hard plastic seat on the bus would be a breeze. Balance issues resolved - heck year. Possible food/drink storage - double heck yeah.
And if you are a guy and you cannot appreciate my walking away from your while wearing this thing, then I don't even know what to say to you. A butt AND boobs at the same time? come on.
Funny how most of the suggestions seem to be from men!
