Tiny Bikers Banned

The Wonder Bra might become a best seller among bikers in Vietnam. The country's communist rulers are set to ban small-chested bikers from riding on that country’s roads.

According to published reports, anyone with a chest under 28 inches in circumference will be banned from driving a motorbike, which make up 90% of the traffic in the country.

The idea, reportedly, is to prevent people who are too thin, too short or too sickly from riding a motorbike. Ailments such as enlarged livers or sinusitis will also rule out aspirant motorists.

"The new proposals are very funny, but many Vietnamese people could become the victim of this joke," said Le Quang Minh, 31, a Hanoi stockbroker. "Many Vietnamese women have small chests. I have many friends who won't meet these criteria."

The average Vietnamese man is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs less than 125 pounds. The average Vietnamese woman is 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 98 pounds.

Vietnamese bloggers have been poking fun at the plan, envisioning traffic police with tape measures eagerly pulling over female drivers to measure their chests.

"I'm not heavy enough, what am I going to do?" Le Thu Huong asked in a letter to a Vietnamese newspaper. "And what about people whose chests are small? Most of them are too poor to afford breast implants!"

"From now on, padded bras will be best-sellers," said Bo Cu Hung, a popular Ho Chi Minh City blogger.
