What could possibly convince you that strapping a 42-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/LCD/">LCD</a> TV to your body is a great idea?

Unfortunately, the large screens themselves aren't touch screens, but we probably can't be that picky. Their reward? First prizes at costume parties and minor internet celebrity, which we're happy to oblige. Video after the break.<br />
