    Awesome or awful? Self-cleaning underwear

    The Independent picks up a funny story today by Adrienne So, which originally ran on Slate, touting newfangled bra technology and investigating the possibility of a jogging bra that could power her iPod. (It could happen!) What really grabbed my attention, however, was a sidebar about upcoming clothing inventions. Ladies and gentlemen, set your clocks and toss your fabric softener because the future is coming and it will not require 5-for-1 boy short sales at Victoria's Secret:

    "Self-cleaning underwear

    Scientists working for the US military have used self-cleaning fabrics to create T-shirts and underwear that can be worn for weeks without washing. The garments, which use nanoparticles and chemicals to repel water, oil and bacteria, cost 14 [million pounds] to develop and have been licensed to Alexium Group in London for civilian use. Available soon."
    So it's like a self-cleaning oven, but you wear it on your privates. Sounds creepy -- and convenient! As someone who can't stand the laundromat, I'm so torn! Self-cleaning underwear: Awesome or awful?

    I thought self cleaning underwear was when you wear the same underwear for a week. Toss them in the dirty clothes hamper and when you run out of clean underwear you dig thru the dirty clothes hamper, find those stank drawers, sniff them and put them on again for another week.
    I dreamed of Revelry and found Revelry.

    I wore a pair of drawers for 11 days during Operation Team Spirit, I buried them somewhere in the fields of Korea.

    No remedy for Hershey stains in the field, believe that.

    this will slow down my yearly doctors visit

    I usually just drop off my drawers and tell em to take blood, stool, urine and semen samples

    Its all about time management
    As for the charges against me, I am unconcerned. I am beyond their timid lying morality, and so I am beyond caring.
