The genuine caption for this photo tells us this woman is wearing the ’Voter Turnout Lift-Up Bra’ and that a lingerie maker introduced the garment, modeled after a ballot box, to raise the interest of Japanese people in elections.
You get the connection? No, I don’t either, unless voting places in Japan are a lot more like Tony Soprano’s Bada Bing Club than they are where I live. Is somebody confusing going to the polls with going to see pole dancers?

I dunno…I just keep thinking Barbarella meets Sailor Moon…
It’s just one of those days.
Gotta pay tuition at U-T somehow.
An election where we’re winners just for casting a vote.
Is that a ballot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Please — nobody tell her the election has been over for weeks.
Every woman in the free world …
Are you sure she’s a professional model? She seems to be of a healthy weight and her collarbones are not threatening to cut everyone who walks within a metre of her.
some of us prefer realism and some meat on our models — why don’t u go look at sticks instead
Calm down, Jim. I agree with you, but apparently the fashion world does not. Or the entertainment world, for that matter: see Kate Bosworth recently?
The whole world should use it is nice and you can steal a feel of her Breast when you are putting in the ballot but the design should be changed a little bit for the real use like anti-tampering and all that
