News, but not the serious kind

Fifth floor, medieval accessories…

This is another photo caption that raises more questions than it answers. This gizmo is a chastity belt, made by an Italian craftsman. We’re told that he turns these things out for film makers, museums, and individuals.

Quick, name a movie made in the last 500 years with a chastity belt in it! That’s what I thought, I can’t either. And don’t museums show things that are really old, not modern copies of old things?

That leaves individuals, and if there’s a market for these in 2006, I guess I don’t get out enough. All I know for sure is, ladies, if you’re wearing one of these, allow a little extra time for airport security. Or maybe a lot of extra time.chastity300.jpg

Dear Blogger Guy,

I’m disappointed.

The movie title you are looking for is “Robin Hood — Men in Tights.”

Your welcome.

 

This is kind of embarrassing. I also forgot “Gidget Goes Hawaiian,” “Ordinary People” and “Ma and Pa Kettle go to Town”
