Amazon reportedly wants to 3D-scan your body for a $25 gift card

An online form, spotted earlier Wednesday by Mashable, lets interested participants sign up for a body scanning study conducted by Amazon Body Labs. The image study aims to learn about "diversity among body shapes," according to the form, and is operating at two different locations in New York, Mashable reported.

Participants have to schedule an appointment before June 30, and apparently can only do it once. Data collected during the 30-minute session is meant for internal product research and not marketing, according to the sign-up form.

The form says participants will be asked to change into "minimal form-fitting clothing," noting that bikinis are preferred for women, but form-fitting shorts and sports bras are also acceptable. A reporter for Mashable signed up for a body scanning session and was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep everything they experienced or learned during the study confidential.

“The image study aims to learn about “diversity among body shapes,” according to the form...”

I wouldn’t do it for less than $30.00.

The joke would be on them. I don’t have a 25$ gift card on my body!

TSA just took a scan of me 2 days ago. Can’t AMZN buy it from them?

Do they provide a fluff girl to maximize my scan results?

I’m sure there are plenty of homeless people on street corners willing to collect the $25. Just take them behind the closest wall around and get’r done. Plenty of ‘volunteers’ in that demographic.

When you sell something on Amazon, and no one buys Amazon will offer to send that thing back to you at an incredibly high price. Or, they will offer to destroy it in.

Uh huh.

Just a new Social Justice program ... some body shapes have more privileges than others and should be shunned
