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.

Dear Blogger Guy,
I’m disappointed.
The movie title you are looking for is “Robin Hood — Men in Tights.”
Your welcome.
