If there are more car accidents than usual along London's Thames River this month, motorists have a good excuse for being distracted: The world's largest bra hangs from a nearby skyscraper.
Guinness World Records has officially recognized the bright pink bra, which hangs from the ITV Southbank building and was unveiled on Oct. 28, as the world's largest.
The bra took four weeks to stitch up, and is made from about four football fields worth of lightweight spinnaker nylon. The fabric weighs about 165 pounds (75 kg), and with the metal fasteners it comes to 198 pounds (90 kg).
And, because you're surely wondering, it measures 27 meters (88.5 feet) under the bust and 31 meters (101.7 feet) around the bust. Technically, it's a 1222B, but if reduced to human proportions, it would be a size 34B.
The bra was part of Britain's Breast Cancer Campaign's annual "Wear It Pink" fundraiser day. Last year's event raised about $4 million to help fund cutting-edge breast cancer research.

Ah, if you've followed my blog, this is another episode of "Pink me Stupid".
The spending on this endless marketing campaign is mind boggling.

Hey, good to see your pixels. Hope all is well in your world! :-)
I'm with ol WWW on that one. With this Movember thing going on at present will we see a giant jock strap next?
GFB, ONLY if you look in my sox drawer buddy! LOL
Thanks for the referral of Xplorenet, Veep. I did Xplore them a few years back and apart from installation costs ($1200 then) and contract being drastically expensive, reports from the field (friends) of their performance was connection "subject to weather" and download/upload charges (for my business) would drive my costs to about $150/mo. Plus contract would stick even IF broadband came to my community. All in all not for me.
But thank you so much for your research on my behalf.
