Unbelievable!

Though street crime is relatively low in Japan, quirky camouflage designs like this vending-machine dress are being offered to an increasingly anxious public to hide from would-be assailants.

This is supposed to make people think this person is a vending machine.

This one is supposed to be a firehydrant

Japan does not strike me as a place that has a high crime rate. Pretty funny getup anyways :D

One very important question I want to pose before everyone gets on this fashion bandwagon.

Lets say I 'm wearing this coke vending machine outfit. What if someone wants their change/coins back and pounds really hard or even kicks me in the stomach?
um.., ouch?!

Oh ,deter from what crime I want to ask.., the only time such costumes will come in handy is if a student is ditching school and sees his/her parents walking towards them down the same street and wanted to avoid getting caught. Or if you have a warrant for your arrest and the town is plastered w/ your wanted poster.
