The Levi clothing company has announced that it is to produce a range of Dockers pants – dubbed S-Fit – with an anti-radiation lining in one of the pockets to protect against mobile phone emissions.

This is very weird, and could be the first real sign that mobile phones are destined to follow the cigarette industry into choppy waters sometime soon.

Quote: ‘”We’re not implying in any way that mobile phones are dangerous,” Levi’s European communications manager Cedric Jungpeter told Reuters.’

Really? Then why make ’em?
