Bravertising

There’s advertorials, invertising, advergaming, dogvertising, adverblogging, blogvertising, and the list goes on. Now there’s another one to add to the list. I’d like to call it “Bravertising“.

Women’s lingerie maker, Triumph International has what they call the Hanshin Tigers Bra, made in honor of the Japenese baseball team of the same name. So for all the Japanese women out there who are avid supporters of the team, they can now support themselves with a bra that integrates Truckee, the Tiger’s mascot. It comes with matching shorts and a little tiger tail as well. Very cute.

Those Asians know how to have fun. Remember the SARS masks? Thanks to Tony Pierce for pointing me in this direction.
