Levi's jeans with full joystick control already installed.

*Jess Horrible* ran across "*an ad for $250 "iPod ready" jeans*":http://mog.com/Jess_Horrible/blog_post/49747 from Levi's, ehich is a scary concept.This in turn led me to recall a 70s girlfriend with her "all areas access" or "seal-a-meal" (not-Levi's) jeans that zipped all the way from front waist to back waist with a single zipper...And the Levi's print ad for button-fly jeans that had one line of copy "...because *this* is a scary place to put a zipper..."And also to recall these little examples of the Early American Hypocritical Sellout School of music in action:

    Spike says Jefferson Airplane's commercial was musical and funny. The things people do to appeal to the public can be fascinating.

    B42 says I had forgotten about this and I own the album.... For better or worse I've worn Levis everyday for the last four decades and was saddened when they stopped making them in the US... wiki By the 1990s, the brand was facing competition from other brands and cheaper products from overseas. Production facilities in Canada and the United States closed and supply of finished products came from places like China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Lesotho, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Mexico and the Philippines. In modern times, Levi’s has become one of the top-10 most litigious companies in the world, aggressively pursuing action against any rival fashion company producing jeans that infringe on the trademark (US #1,139,254) on the Levi's jeans' 133 year old iconic back pocket.
