A while back Kris and I bore witness to one of the most absurd and entertaining infomercials ever created. It was for the Chinese engineered “breast enhancement product” (read push-up chest-belt), the Divine Blessings Bra. Brought to you by Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion and mercy, the Divine Blessings Bra bestows wonders on the chests of small breasted women everywhere. And the product also works for those with abnormally large, or misbehaving breasts, as the Divine Blessings Bra keeps your breasts from “falling under your arms, and flapping all over the place”. For, as Quan Yin says, “When you feel sexy, the world is wonderful.”
And there’s more. Here’s a testimonial from the Divine Blessings website:
After I had a baby my breasts became loose and fell all the way to my waistline, but life is now great again since I have started wearing Divine Blessings. My figure is even sexier than when I was younger.
Wow! I didn’t even know breasts could stretch to someone’s waistline, much less come loose from their original chest mountings, but if Divine Blessings can help in such extreme cases it really MUST be divine!
For a nice laugh, check out two parts of the Divine Blessings infomercial below:

“Loss of sexyness”!!! the implications of this commercial to the feminist movement alone makes it a big hit. And of course, it holds steady with the stereotype that all asian women have small chests.
I love it when the girl walks into the business and the guys stare right at her breasts, its like “no no really, stare at my boobs, its cool.” Sexual harrassment is obviously not a problem in Asia…
