“Feng Shui Underpants Ward Off Evil Spirits

Feb. 3, 2005 ? If your horoscope is looking a bit worrying for the coming Lunar New Year, a Hong Kong company has just the thing to put it right: feng shui underpants.
The lucky smalls have been designed by Yeung Tin Ming, a master of the ancient Chinese craft of spirit manipulation, or feng shui, and will ward off evil spirits and bring harmony, claims Life Enhance, a company that seeks to bring the wisdom of ancient China to the mass market.”
hmm.. I thought Feng shui was about arranging objects in a way that guides energies and spirits from all things towards you. I like to be in control of anything that arrange things down there thank you very much.
The article above also goes on to talk about the forthcoming Chinese New Year, and says:
“The underpants, which come in red, grey and white and in boxers for men and briefs for women, depict a dragon on the front in accordance with Chinese belief that the mythical creatures balance out the erratic nature of roosters.
“If you have a dragon on your underpants you will be protected,” said Law.
I don’t know about having a dragon on my underpants, but does it count if you have one who irons them for you?
(That one is going to cost me, and being close to Valentines, it will cost me big. Mind you, I could always buy her some Feng Shui briefs)
I also hope that they got the translation right and that he did mean rooster, as in the Chinese
belief that the mythical creatures balance out the erratic nature of the cockerals.
