ATTENTION, HORNY DUDES PHOTO ENTHUSIASTS
Here's a company that says it has developed an infrared see-through filter. This has many scientific applications, as we can see from this demonstration.
(Via Gizmodo)
Well, that demonstration has convinced me.
That and I'm going to go buy one of those mannequins.....
Hubba Hubba....

erm, dave, is there a theme to today's posts?

PF. Crapcam. Just sayin'.

Obviously Dave has already purchased one of these...hence the current blog themes.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 11:58 AM
this is nothing new, you used to be able to order this in goggle form from the back of the comic books right next to the sneezing dust and itching soap.
Posted by: crossgirl | May 02, 2006 at 12:02 PM
There's a theme?
Posted by: CoastRaven | May 02, 2006 at 12:02 PM
Maybe that explains it. Was hoping the fact that there is a 24 post doesn't mean that mrs. blog has sent him to the couch, therefore explaining the recent trend in postings.

So let me see, they demonstrate this with mannequins and peep through their tops. And a few months from now when they're sued, they're going to be shocked - *SHOCKED* - that someone would dare use their brilliant invention to unknowingly and violatingly peep through people's clothes as this was NOT their intention. At all. Clearly.

snork @ KOW.

KOW - why wait a few months? Find a shop that sells this filter, wait outside in a skimpy dress, and let your retirement fund find you!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 12:32 PM
"and let your retirement fund find you!"
BWAH!!
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 02, 2006 at 12:34 PM
Annie...you are sooooo bad.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 12:34 PM
Imagine the disappointment when it becomes apparent to the pervs that buy this that most (respectable) wffdomen don't just wear a flimsy, see through, knit black dress. Most wear opaque undergarments underneath, for both support and to avoid that "gee, I feel really naked" biz...
Posted by: djtonyb | May 02, 2006 at 12:35 PM
hope the blond chick had on sun block. this will really mess up Superman.
Posted by: queensbee | May 02, 2006 at 12:36 PM
WTFBBQ?!?!? wffdomen = women
Posted by: djtonyb | May 02, 2006 at 12:37 PM
But then again, there are probably some people you do NOT want a view underneath the hood.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 12:38 PM
djtonyb - upon what research, pray tell, do you base your theory that most respectable women don't wear flimsy, sheer undergarments?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 12:44 PM
*snaps a picture of Annie*

Lab, that will cost you.

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 02, 2006 at 01:06 PM
Come to think of it, when I put a wet cloth over my writing, it becomes clearer. Especially when the cloth is soaked in beer.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 01:07 PM
Meanie - I can't do it -please don't make me!
*click*
Hey, the camera melted!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 01:14 PM
Well, now ... maybe this is an example of what is produced by this wonder filter.
Posted by: Gary | May 02, 2006 at 01:21 PM
Annie - I'm sayin' that their undergarments are not composed of the sheer knit fabric the dress is made from... you can see this effect with no filters on some stars that make the mistake of wearing the little black dress, and the flash hits 'em just right - poof! That dress that looked good in a mirror becomes about as effective as saran wrap.
And I was sayin' that most respectable women would wear undergarments under said dress... flimsy or not... but if you're wearing a little black knit dress and you're serious about it, you should have a figure that warrants some more support than flimsy... just sayin'
Posted by: djtonyb | May 02, 2006 at 01:25 PM
SNOEK@Annie. That may very well be an option because heaven knows I'm not actually working here.
Posted by: KOW | May 02, 2006 at 01:32 PM
...or SNORK. Whatever you prefer.
Posted by: KOW | May 02, 2006 at 01:34 PM
I ordered a pair of X-ray glasses from the back of a comic book when I was little once. They cost a whopping $1.50....
Surprisingly, when I got them 12 weeks later, they didn't work!
I know. I'm as shocked as you are...
Posted by: Clark Kent | May 02, 2006 at 01:35 PM
I kinda prefer SNOEK - means you're laughing so hard you can't see the keyboard.
djtonyb - maybe you need to do more 'undercover' research. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Clark Kent = Superman. Do you really need them ? I mean, I thought you already HAD X-Ray vision,etc.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 01:49 PM
This is actually quite scary. God knows I wouldn't want to see pix of mom on the internet!!! What about the kiddie porn industry??? DON'T THESE PEOPLE THINK?????????
That being said, I certainly wouldn't mind to borrow them for a few minutes... I have some new neighbors...
Posted by: crissi/crisis all depending on the day... | May 02, 2006 at 02:06 PM
Clark maybe you can answer me this question, why is it that when Superman wants to use his X-Ray vision he alwasy has to partially remove his glasses? And why doesn't his x-ray vision work all the time, what mystical ability makes it possible to turn on and off his x-ray/laser beam vision?

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 02:22 PM
I was thinking more along the lines of 'This Space For Rent.'
Posted by: At A Keyboard | May 02, 2006 at 02:23 PM
....or "For rent--cheap!"
Posted by: BillyJoeJimBob | May 02, 2006 at 02:24 PM
Um, guys? I don't quite see where it says that the ladies are incapable of using these filters in the same manner as demonstrated.
Annie - webcam?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 02, 2006 at 02:42 PM
Of course, the ladies are WAY above doing that.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 02:44 PM
Yes, I agree, so long as undergarments are worn this stuff is not as usefull. On the other hand it can be fun to spy on neighbors.
That particular camera has been on sale for a while.
Posted by: Alfred | May 02, 2006 at 02:52 PM
MC - you need new Underoos.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 02:52 PM
You're right. Wait...noooooooo !!!!!
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 02:57 PM
OH, so the photographer who took the picture of John Kerry's daughter two years ago was field testing this filter?
Posted by: jp | May 02, 2006 at 03:06 PM
That's not a Crap Cam - that's a Creep Cam!

Since no one has addressed this yet... why do the mannequins have darkened nipples?
Posted by: Adversary | May 02, 2006 at 04:30 PM
Wow. Adv, I did not notice. You must have been looking very closely.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 02, 2006 at 04:32 PM
And...
[heavy breathing]
Why do they have those...
[gasp, pant]
Ugghhhh...
Pouty...
Lipsss...
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 02, 2006 at 04:34 PM
I only remove my glasses when I use the heat vision because otherwise I would melt them and have you priced eyeglasses lately? I am only a lowly journalist, you know....
And turning my X-ray vision on and off is kind of like that mystical ability all men have to selectively listen to their wives or girlfriends. We hear EVERY word when they're talking about food or sex but put them on mute if they're talking about their day or shopping or "the relationship" or... well, pretty much anything but food or sex....
Posted by: Clark Kent | May 02, 2006 at 04:34 PM
Well put, and SNORK!
Posted by: At A Keyboard | May 02, 2006 at 04:52 PM
Adversary - are you saying you don't?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 02, 2006 at 04:55 PM
This (filter) sorta reminds me of the old "grain filter" developed in Hollywood many years ago ... photo enthusiasts may have heard the story of how it came to be, and how well it werked ... merely sayin' ...

This is why it took Clark 60 years to finally marry the only girl he was dating.
No comments on Bruce...
