CoolJunkie Gadget Update: W-41 T-Shirt
October 28, 2008 5:07 PMby Michael Maryanoff
Alright ladies, here’s the scenario: You’re at a club late at night and there’s been some anonymous creepy guy following you around, eyeing you the entire time. I think I know exactly what’s on your mind, “Wow, it must be really inconvenient that he doesn’t know who I am, I wish he could easily access all of my personal information via a cell phone application.” Thanks to breakthroughs in stalking-optimization technology you’re days of longing for simplified privacy invasion have come to an end.
At first glance, the W-41 looks like any other overpriced piece of minimal garb, but there is much more to it than that. Each shirt comes with a personalized circular logo that functions sort of like a bar code. If you’d like to learn something about the person sporting the shirt, all you have to do is take a picture of the design and a cell phone application (available for free download on www.w-41.com) will recognize the personalized logo and will go to the a link of the wearer’s choosing, whether it be their favorite website or online profile. They currently have three different styles for guys and three different styles from girls to choose from.
Pros
- You don’t necessarily have to put a link to your online profile, so you could technically put a link to a site that says, “Stop looking at my ass you creep” or that leads them to the infamous ‘Two Girls One Cup” video.
- If you see a girl wearing this you could e-stalk her before talking to her. “Hey, you love Will Ferrell movies too? What a coincidence!”
- You can tell people you’re a cyborg.
Cons
- An all-access pass for creep shows lurking around the bar.
- Nerds might confuse you with a Star Wars character.
- It might make you look a bit desperate.
