Swiss designers have developed men's underwear that is said to protect from radiation exposure. The underwear incorporates silver threads in the material and is thought to preserve a man's sperm from the harmful effects of a mobile phone.

The Slipways briefs are said to be so effective that any phone calls made in the confines of the underwear will completely fail to connect, though why anybody would try to make a phone call from within a pair of Swiss briefs is beyond us.

Apparently 4000 pairs have been hammered out thus far, each of which will sell for around $24 USD (around £15), though there's little detail on when paranoid tin-foil hat wearing fools can expect their metallic underwear to thud onto the market on an International level. (Source)
