"Wearable Video Vest Launched." Such a statement must surely portend the arrival of the Biblical "end times." Nothing in the press release disabused me of that belief. It begins: “Video Vest provides progressive marketing professionals a technology to WEAR clothing that plays full motion video with stereo sound any place they want to capture attention.” If you wear a TV in public, yes, you’ll probably get a few looks from passersby. (And why the all-caps on “WEAR”? Come to think of it, why emphasize that the vest is “wearable” at all? If you can’t wear it, it’s not much of a vest, whatever its other bells and whistles.)
