Fear As Entrepreneurial Inspiration
from the anything-works dept
There have been plenty of articles about people trying to profit off of the September 11 attacks, but what about people who have responded with creative products for these times? The article talks about a wide range of products that are showing up, such as the special parachute for jumping out of buildings that we mentioned earlier today. They also talk about a specially designed aquarium for opening mail to protect you from anthrax (though some doubt that it actually works) and a Japanese company that is offering a bra without any metal, in order to get through metal detectors without problems.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
