Anti-Radiation Trousers
from the watch-out dept
Worried that mobile phones give off harmful radiation? Thinking that carrying that phone in your hip pocket might not be the best thing for... certain body parts? Perhaps you should invest in a new pair of anti-radiation trousers that Levi Strauss is introducing under the Dockers brand name. They say the pockets are lined with "anti-radiation" material, though, it doesn't say just what that material is (is that lead in your pocket, or...?). Whether or not mobile phones give off radiation, and whether or not these pants actually block it, this still seems like a bit of cashing in on fear.
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.
