Perhaps he means that if they were to move their breasts they would literally knock the other people off the stage.
That rising ball in the center is interesting though - definitely didn't notice it at first. What could it do??

Who suddenly broke thier Atlas gear? It'll be quite silly to wear non-water-proof anti-gravity bras for the WET t-shirt contest, you know.
Someone could have disabled it (as happened to Alexis on page 10 of LBSM), but I'm not really sure such sabotage is supposed to accomplish.

Hm. The ball in the center of the stage is rising, behind Than. Note that the three very big girls ... can't turn to look. Their bodies are immobilized in place by their thousand-pound breasts.

It would take so much fabric to make a t shirt that big. I just wish we got to see them putting on their clothes in the morning....

Big Breast Blitzball?

I'm not disappointed. Suprised, I think. Than's establishment looks pretty powerful from the previous parts of the comic (and even from elaborate construct two pages before) yet they only have dozen contestants in the contest? WTF?
Perhaps these are hand-picked “best” ones, but still… it just feels too small a number for the level of influence we've seen.

Hmm... We were promised WET t-shirt contest and these t-shirts are currently dry thus they need to make them wet somehow. And using antigravity on water is certainly an amusing yet effective way to do that.

I concede your point about C.A.P.I. Although we don't really know if C.A.P.I. is singular phenomenon or is it common but yeah, such things are pretty far in our future. But not 100 years, no. 50 years maximum. More likely 30. Still far enough to not have working prototypes, true.
As for biotechnology... I don't know: if their biotechnology is so advanced then why was Than so impressed by Alexis achievements on page 13 of the LBSM? And why would anyone use implants if biotechnology is that simple there?
It looks like that world is significantly ahead of ours in the computers/A.I. departments, but not that far ahead in other aspects. Oh, and it has anti-gravity (which is not even on horizon in our world if it's even possible at all).

Nah, I'm thinking turn ON some SUPER anti-gravity and then fill the space with water. Would explain Than putting on some safety goggles.

They've GOT robots with A.I. on par with human intelligence(C.A.P.I.) along with remote control puppets and robotic sentries with working lasers. And you just saw what is mostly likely a cybernetic woman who had her entire body replaced with mechanical parts, who is competing in a wet t-shirt contest. We have NOTHING that close to that, we're talking brain transplants and computers that can fully interpret the signals put our by our brains. The other fact that they've got biotechnology down so pat that they can more or less mold their bodies to whatever shape their heart desires and this world is at least 100 years ahead of ours.

Hmm oh I know! Turn off the anti grav and first girl to successfully drag her chest from one side of the stage to the other wins?

And why not? Granted our robots go for more human-like look, but they right now, today, are starting to become affordable. The same with robotic limbs, implants, etc. Kurzweil and others predict that organ replacements will become the norm by 2020th - that's about one decade from now. Even if he's off by a decade or so it'll not move LBSM word too far into the future.
I think you are greatly underestimating speed of all these changes. They linger for years in kind-of-almost-but-not-exactly-finished state then suddenly explode almost overnight when they pass certain point.
Think airplanes: first flight happened in 1903 on a plane which resembled a mess of wires, planks and sticks. And it was able to fly few hundreds of feets. But only 10 years after that point we've had mass-produced four-motors Sikorsky Ilya Muromets capable of flying for hundreds of miles with dozen of passengers. Then 10 years after that we've already had regular airlines!
And telepresence robots and cyborgs right about now are where airplanes were in 1903th…
Robots with an AI are futher away, they will most defininitely not arrive in a dozen of years (more likely we are talking about three or four dozen of years, LOL), but we don't really have a reason to believe that they are in LBSM, too.

So what do we think - are any of these tops coming off? Are we going to see some real unclothed lipples?

Kind of interesting that there are no midrange sizes. I guess when you've got the desire to go big, there is no reason to not go all the way.
HA! Gynoid! Or at least Cyborg! TELL ME this world is only a decade or two past ours now!

I'm certainly not disappointed by the contestants, but then again, I am measuring in mass.

And now we'll know just why Than is so sure Alexis will not win, just... not right now. Ugh.
P.S. Kind of surprised by how few contestants there are. But, well, "quality, not quantity", I guess...
