And this month's award for the most useless application of modern technology goes to.......Alison's PantsCam! Give a couple of college students a digital camera, a wireless network, and some free time, and they'll provide streaming data of the insides of their pants. Once again, I go to the wrong University.

That might be more interesting if Alison had some neuticles.

The web has come a long way from What's Inside Jeremy's Wallet?, hasn't it? I'm guessing What's Inside ____'s Bra? isn't far off.

hijinx: and I for one can't wait!! :)

by the way, anyone else wonder what this site might be a front for? i mean, the url...pantscam.com...Pant Scam? sounds a bit shaky to me.... :)

Remember to click on the ad banners on the inside of her pants...

Stupid firewall. I wanna know what colour Alison's panties are too!

Hijinx, if cameras get small enough, we can eventually learn what's deep inside ____'s pants, and probably pay $5.95/minute for the privelage.

I imagine FDS will want an ad.

I think the whole thing is a scam, put a cam into a hamster cage, put brown fabric all over and should the creature movie it would simulate movement. That's mostly it, now had we a cam that would be poined up, and say have this wow, look at the view, view, then sure. But this is cheap!

I'm thinking there has to be someone out there with titillating evil twin version of this idea on the web.

Any links?

I find it sad people will go to a website to view a woman's underwear. (in low-res with a low titillation factor, to boot)

There are plenty of good pornography sites out there.

Patronize them.

No, the site is not *quite* a fake, per se. I talked to "Monzy", the owner of it, and he did strap a camera to his girlfriend Alison for a few days, and let her wander around the house with it. Sometimes the pictures are stuck in a loop, sometime it is live feed.

Either way, it's still a useless application of modern technology.

Now, if we can get someone to put up Vibe-cam, that would be another matter entirely.

cC, you CAN see what color they are....white with little green and purple flower things. You can catch a glimpse of them on the page before the 'camera feed'. Just to let you know.
