Tweet Mirrors, Coming to a Mall Dressing Room Near You, Perverts Everywhere Rejoice...

Yes your butt looks big, but the good news is now strangers on Twitter and Facebook can let you know!

Daily Mail - No time for reflection? 'Tweet Mirror' captures your look in shop changing room and asks friends for online feedback...For those who like to go clothes shopping alone it may prove an invaluable addition to the changing room.The 'Tweet Mirror' uses a high-definition camera to take images of shoppers trying on outfits. They can then study the photos themselves or tweet or post on Facebook for friends to offer a second opinion. The hi-tech device was unveiled today in Westfield shopping centre in west London.' It came about after one of our engineers was getting married,' said Kevin Trafford from Nedap, the Dutch firm behind the gadget.

Oh yea, this seems like a great idea, nothing could possibly go wrong here...

Let me just get this straight, so we're all clear.  People are all up in arms about the TSA snapping a few high powered x-ray photos of you as you walk through a public hallway and everyone throws a collective shit fit. Right so far? Ok, now some company comes out with a peeping Tom's dream device, a high def camera built into a changing room mirror that has the ability to broadcast directly to the internet, and this is seen as a revolutionary device in consumer shopping?  

What the hell planet am I living on!?  We'd rather Tweet our privates while at the mall than board a bomb free airplane?   I've now given up on the human race as a species.

One side note, if this does catch on, which I'm assuming it will as humans are increasingly getting dumber, I'm praying it stays in up scale stores and lingerie boutiques...good looking ladies only please.  The world isn't ready for Betty-Jean TrailerPark to broadcast herself trying on bras in the Ladies Unmentionables section at K-Mart.
