Portal clothing?

(Mis)Uses of Technology

It had to happen. Some Swiss company has created clothing that has unique numbers on them that are linked to email. This way you can see a person you don't know, and send them mail at the number on their shirt. Hmmm... why not tatoo it on our foreheads or implant it under our skin. They should call it a UPL (Unique Person Locator)... sent over APP (Annoying Person Protocol).

    why not just directly sew your email address on the seat of your pants. then you wouldn't have to bother with conversions and imported products.

    Why do the clothes look like...

    you're a prisoner from Buck Rogers?

    And doesn't it seem a little desperate to just give out your number to anyone you meet? Instant stalkers, yadda yadda...
