Golden Oldie


Here is a link about clothes that react to your mood. While it may have some commercial application in, say, mental health institutions, I just don't see the concept catching on with society in general.

Your thoughts? Would you wear clothing that could determine when you were angry or depressed, and then send words and music to make you feel better?

AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

My friend Dan bought his wife one those mood rings.

When she's happy, the ring turns green. When she's relaxed, the ring is blue.

And when she's angry, the ring leaves a bright red mark on Dan's forehead.

I think it's a great idea. Then all of us appearing in drab could pick out the one or two bright colors and kill them before they can infect more of us.
Why? Because it's human nature.

Gosh, that seems a little harsh. :o)

Brings to mind the movie, "Pleasantville."

Also the "4U City" concept of webcomic Sluggy Freelance, where everyone is *required* to be happy.
