SUPER-STUD FACES A SHRINKING

IT'S a bird, it's a plane — it's superbulge! "Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh is supposedly giving the suits at Warner Brothers fits because of his prodigious package of masculinity. The 26-year-old beefcake's extra-large endowment is said to be so distracting through his skin-tight costume that producers may have to shrink him during post-production.

"It's a major issue for the studio," a "Superman Returns" production source fretted to the London Sun. "Brandon is extremely well-endowed and they don't want it up on the big screen. We may be forced to erase his package with digital effects."

"Brandon is extremely well-endowed and they don't want it up on the big screen.

So point it down. Problem solved.

You guys just do not understand what being cursed with such a burden is like. You get no respect from women and you are seen as nothing but a big piece of meat. Do you have any idea what shopping for a jock strap that actually fits is like? Do you have any idea how quickly the "jump rope" jokes get old?

OK, let me speak for at least SOME women. The so-called "package" is not really a draw. If you have to focus on the physical, well, then I would rate face, chest, arms, and buns way before the "package."

In reality, it is more the twinkle in the eye, the nice turn of phrase, the strength of character evident when he opens his mouth, that will interest me.

All of the above well-covered by Mr. P, by the way.

This exactly why I rarely wear my Superman costume. Well except for the cape.

The "keywords" are better than the article.

LOL! The research has been a scream! (No, the arrow came with the picture)

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

[najida]

Granted, the Sparky in Undies picture is without parallel. ;)

Jump Rope? I usually get the 'pole vault' or 'why did the fire department hook up there?' jokes. Thanks goodness I'm only on public display when scientists want to prove the curvature of the Earth.

And yes, i did get tired of carrying a dozen doughnuts and two cups of coffee.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

That was one special picture!

[Darksheare]

LOL!
But I might end up IN the research..

Who has the picture of "Big" Dick Cheney?

[blackie]

Right up your ally. >:-}

[Horatio Gates]

Thats right. Thanks for refreshing my memory of that farce

[Dashing Dasher]

Okay, gals!

Tell me what you think?

This guy doesn't do anything for me... he looks like he's got a big butt and chubby dude thighs.

And bragging about your package is just... wrong. Especially around Christmas... when everyone is thinking about the packages under the tree. And, just think of the elves.

Me, I found Dick Cheney's exhibit more distracting.

[najida]

Hun,
I just spent a big chunk of time on the net looking at pictures of this guy and all I can say,

You are wrong,
you are soooooooOOOOoooo wrong.
