World’s Naughtiest

Venerable lingerie maker Agent Provocateur has just announced its newest lingerie collection. I’m not telling you this for my health, of course — the theme of the “New World Order” line is superheroes, and… man, it is just terrible. I hadn’t really thought about it before, but if someone had asked me yesterday if someone could actually screw up a comics-inspired lingerie line, I would have said no. But looking at these “things,” complete with titles like Hornette and Magnette, I’m just sad and ashamed and a little angry. If you want the full experience, head over here to catch the preposterous and mind-blowingly awful video explaining the “story” that goes along with these lingerie designs, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
