Cheeky Geeky Undies

HTTPanties Help Web Lovers Communicate in the Sack

— June 17, 2009 — Fashion
These adorable HTTPanties have a cheeky side to them, as they put a twist on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol you see on the web.

Although “200 OK” means smooth sailing, “403 Forbidden” means that you've entered no man's land, and bad territory.

Maybe picking up a pair of these will give the guy you're with the message you've been trying so hard to get across.

Implications - The current marketplace is saturated with advanced forms of technology and this has caused the emergence of "geek chic." Consumers appreciate nerdy novelty gifts and fashions as they allow them to voice their values to their peers. Companies can appeal to this tech-savvy demographic by manufacturing technological or education-themed products.

1. Geeky Underwear - Consumers are embracing novelty underwear as a way of expressing their values and personality, opening up opportunities for companies to manufacture more creative and unique designs.
2. Techy Fashion - The emergence of geek chic and the popularity of technological or education-themed products have created a demand for more tech-oriented fashion and accessories.
3. Communication in Intimate Settings - Products like HTTPanties, which use humor and playful technology references, show the potential for innovation in communication and technology in intimate settings.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - With the popularity of geeky and tech-themed clothing and accessories, the fashion industry can incorporate technology and pop culture references into their designs for a wider range of creative options.
2. Technology - Increased demand for tech-themed novelty products, like HTTPanties, could lead to more innovation in wearable technology and other cutting-edge products.
3. Intimate Products - Intimate products and accessories that incorporate technology, humor, and unique design elements, like HTTPanties, can appeal to younger and tech-savvy demographics seeking more personal, creative ways to express themselves.
