I don't get it.

I don't get all the fuss about the 'Open Source Boob Project' business.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that it's skeezy and obnoxious and all. I just don't get why Some Guy On LJ being skeezy at a con is suddenly provoking such a flurry of posting, because my understanding is that there are lots of skeezy people on LJ - quite a few of whom go to cons - and generally it doesn't attract anywhere near this level of attention. If it was Orson Scott Card or somebody else famous (or even Brendan Nelson) I could understand, but not this.

(I think what this boils down to is that a lot of people seem to view the originator of the concept as a Somebody, and I've never figured out what makes him any more noteworthy than all the other folk on LJ who have opinions and aren't afraid to post them. Therefore I just write him off under the "lots of people are idiots" umbrella category.)

The thought occurs to show up at a con with boxes of padded bras with sewing pins pushed through from the inside and really, really big buttons that say "Go ahead and ask, cause if you don't I'll grab your hand and make you touch them!" and setting up a booth

Ooooohhhh! I'm thinking the logistics of getting another garment on over the bra would be a little difficult. Maybe shorter pins would work.....

Nope. I'd wear it OVER my clothes.
