If your bra could talk, do you know what she would tell you?

For a long time now, I’ve fantasized about having a ventriloquism act that included talking breasts or a talking pink bra. It seems that with the success of those TV spots starring crash-test dummies who talk and inspire us to wear our seat belts, maybe a talking bra could help reduce our fear of breast cancer, as well as educate and inspire to get annual mammograms.

Don’t you think so?
