Keyboard Pants -- Is there Anything Geekier?

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Apr 24th 2008 at 9:10AM

We're pretty sure you're supposed to wear things like your geekiness on your sleeve, not your crotch, but apparently no one told designer Erik De Nijs, the mind behind these pair of pants-cum-laptop-accessory.

The oddly saggy-in-the-middle-jeans, with bright orange stitching, have speakers built into the knees and a keyboard in the crotch for Googling from where ever you want. The convenience of always having a full-sized keyboard with you seems nice, but we're pretty sure we shouldn't be encouraging people to put their hands in their groin where other people might see.

Check out the gallery for some images of this crime against fashion and human decency. [Source: Vous Pensez]
