Aussie clothing manufacturer thinks that if women could buy their slutty lingerie for cheaper they could save their marriages. Ooookay.

A government subsidy on sexy underwear would cut divorce rates, boost birth rates and make Australia a happier nation, a Melbourne clothing manufacturer said Wednesday.

With 40 per cent of marriages now ending in divorce and a third of adult Australians without a partner, cutting the cost of crimson lace would save Canberra money in the long run, Leethal Fashion Accessories proprietor Gail Lee said.

“We need something to help people overcome these traumatic problems, and subsidized lingerie would mean women would feel a lot better, and their hubbies will feel a lot better,” Lee told Australia’s AAP news agency.

“But good lingerie is very expensive. You used to be able to buy a pair of knickers for 1 dollar, but now 20 dollars will get you very little.”

I have a question. If the women are at that stage of the date where their lingerie is called into action then hasn't the date already been a success? Maybe what the Australian women need is some sexual instruction to learn how to really please their man? I mean if the present is awesome who the fuck cares what the wrapper looked like?
