A Japanese website has sold hundreds of bras for men…
Not sure who the targeted customers are… cross-dressers? Fat people who need something to cover their moobs (men boobs)? Or just some curious folks who want to get a hand on those premium brassier?
Quite bizarre nonetheless, especially when you watch it in action on video… it gives me goosebumps… [via Japanprobe]
can i publish this in my blog?
Nonsense. The narrator revealed the real motive behind this in her last sentence. “So the men will know what it ‘feels like’ to be a woman…” Why should a man need to do that? Does a woman know what it feels like to be a man??
Silly politically correct social engineering is all this is. There’s no need for men and women to walk in each other’s shoes,…or bras in this case. Who cares!? That’s why men and women ARE different, duh! Unless you just have a fetish for cross dressing, then that’s a whole different thing.
Also, unless like YeinJee said, a man has really large moobs and needs support, (which is why bras were originally invented for support), then there’s no practical use for a man bra.
omg, this is funny yet disturbing…
men just don’t look right in bras.
bras are just too feminin, and i can’t imagine any men in them.
if i personally knew any guy who wears bras, i’d think they’re really gay.
like cole said, men have no need to feel like women.
nobody needs to invent something to help them.
please, don’t spread this japanese trend all over the world.
kenneth… go ahead.
Well, it’s not unreasonable to create bras for men for those that really need it… men with large moobs for example; but definitely not for guys like the fella in the video. It’s funny yet sickening watching him trying to squeeze his chest into the bra… and it serves no purpose at all.
Huh ?? Men dont wear bras . . I love show my chest off . .
Oh My! I saw this on cable! I thought it was a comedy show since I didn’t understood Japanese.
Can I also post this on my blog?
oops wrong grammar “..since I don’t understand Japanese”
I found the video even funnier. They’ve been actually waiting for it? But on a serious note, I think the woman who put up the shop should reconsider this. It’s just not about making money here. She actually put it up just because there was a demand for it? She would be supporting the fetish of these customers. I really don’t like this idea (except for the comedic factor). Pornography got away with “freedom of speech” and now man bras could get away with “knowing how a woman feels” just for the sake of making money.
Edyeeh… just go ahead with your blog posting, would be nice if a linkback is provided.
I am not sure if it’s comparable to porn… I can’t understand why those men want to wear bras at the first place.
if the man wanted a tighter fit why not just buy an undershirt one size to small? It would be much cheaper. sounds like a person, as we would say in America, has more dollars than sense.
[...] look at what the world has become! Men’s BRA!!! Can you believe it? I came across this post, I am simply amazed and astounded by this. Why the hell do men need bra? [...]
In the US one of our comedians (Jerry Sienfeld) had one of our most successful television shows ever. In one episode a character (“Kramer”) came up with this idea, That was over 10 years ago. His marketing plan was to call it the “bro”.
Have Japanese marketeers been watching our shows?
Well, the japanese have always been good at taking American ideas and inventions and successfully marketing them to make money. I guess this is another example, lol. ;P
i dunno
im really entertained by the creativity
like you have seen those boyfriend, girlfriend pillows as well, right?
you are right, maybe its for guys with fetishes
maybe there is a gay audience that is the target?
but you are right, cross dressing too
or i guess, heavy moobs.
Eye-catching post. Hahaha…
by the way, can i post this topic in my post?
Go ahead Ken.
[...] I don’t think that Opaque sells Japan’s best-selling men’s bra (in case you’re in the market)… [...]
mmm.to be honest..
it is disgusting.. just to look at a man wears bra!!
seriously,,!!couldn’t they be more creative than this!??
(O.o)
I can’t imagine that, a man wearing a bra……
Yuck!!! It disgusting. Can you imagine that you go to the beach and saw man wearing a bikini.
well sadly it is one of those things we knew would happen some day . 1st it became acceptable for women to wear pants, then there was equal rights in the workplace and all sorts of other things .
I have to say this situation just swings everything out of proportion, and then we ask why the world is so out of sync. It is all of us as humans that causes this. without tying to sound sexist i think it is a slap in the face for the men walking this earth…as if it is not complicated enough we now have to act and dress like women. I only have on thing to say and that is to put a petition together to stop this insanity
we as men should not bend to fashion or anything that tlls us we must walk a mile in a womans shoes
man wearing bra may be a good thing to be equal. why must we force woman to wear high shoes to walk a mile have you guy try walking in a woman high heel shoes and feel the pain of a woman in bra for hours.
so the idea of man wearing bra should be spread all aound the world.
y skirt for ladies
y bra for ladies
y high heel for ladies
guy should have a feel of this also
