In regards to Victoria's Secret --- there was a small news item several weeks ago. The company apparently commissioned a machine that can create a bra out of a single piece of cloth. Am I the only one who thinks this is huge news? Any any lady can tell you (and not a few men) bras are highly complex pieces of clothing that are very labor intensive to make. A machine that can make one in an economical fashion would seem to be huge news.

It would make making bras a "snap" and allow for a bra-der category of them to be manufactured. However, there would still be some whiny "boobs" to contend with. (okay, I know, I know). I wonder if they'll ever "figure" out how to mass market it or whether it will be a bust.

Not to hijack the thread -- but I am kinda hoping that it will bring some clothing manufacturing back to the U.S. A machine is cheaper than cheap labor.

In regards to toys -- parents just have to exercise judgement. Something that most parents shy away from these days.
