Blinks. "Hey! Where pretty girl go?"
BTW, even if he does get thirsty after a chase, no respectable mugger is going to carry a coin purse. He may be dumb enough to slip a few dollar bills into her "slot" before giving up ... actually making the "victim" alittle richer in the process. I LIKE that idea!]]>Mar 25th 2008 8:00PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Mar 30th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/how on earth is "a coon up a tree" a racist comment?! A racoon who has been frightened into a tree does not at all sound racist to me.

But the real point is, if you read the rest of that particular comment, you will see that he is in no way making a racist remark! He doesn't mention anything about minorities being responsible for most/more crime, or anything related to race at all! ]]>Mar 26th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/SOO obviously photoshopped.

Just a bit more hidden--especially underage drinking and drugging.
I have lived in the suburbs in a very wealthy area (Mid Sized Southern City) and I have lived in Atlanta, NYC & Minneapolis.
When a minority kid gets caught, they go to jail, when a rish suburban kid gets caught--they just call Daddy who fixes it for them.
BTW I am white and very secure financialy]]>Oct 22nd 2007 9:03PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Oct 22nd 2007 10:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Oct 23rd 2007 12:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Oct 23rd 2007 2:21AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Oct 23rd 2007 3:12AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Oct 23rd 2007 7:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/

Picture this. Bad guy spots you and begins to hastily make his way toward you to rip you off. Your response? You stand still and raise your skirt over your head. Of course he's NOT gonna notice that the person he was just targeting has magically turned into a coke machine now is he? And this isn't gonna piss him off more and cause him to add some extra bodily harm or rape to his act now is it?

What are you completely nuts? LOLOLOLOL, who comes up with these? ]]>Oct 24th 2007 12:23AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/As for the Coca Cola skirt, rather ingenious. You are dissing the Japanese for coming up with this, yet i bet you were 2nd in line to buy a pet rock, personal misting system, or any of the other 99000 inane american products that have ever been invented.

I could see how that could possibly be a scenario...but, uh, it's just kind of obsurd, really. I mean, the person using it, too. I'd buy it for novelty purposes, make my friends laugh.]]>Oct 24th 2007 5:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/Oct 24th 2007 6:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/http://www.switched.com/2007/10/22/anti-mugging-skirt-transforms-would-be-victim-into-soda-machin/
Although, I, just as "JDub", would use this item as a novelty only.

My friends and family would find it extremely fitting for me as well as Hilarious!
Where do I buy one?
Seriously?! lol.

Then again, considering what's been going on in the world lately with all the recalls from food, to toys, and clothing (think drawstring tops, etc), I'd 1st want to make sure this shirt/skirt (whatever) contains no lead paint, salmonella, E-coli, Rat Poop (Think NYC Taco Bell franchises).

Aw, as much as I love a great laugh- Forget it- I'll just carry mace, an ice pick, heavy key ring (as usual) or just hit a potential perp with my purse- that'll knock him (or her) clear into next week and I'll save my $19.95 (+ S&H of course).

Have a Great Week Everyone- and Stay Safe, However you have to do it.]]>Oct 24th 2007 8:34PM
