Businesses cash in as women chase bigger butts

NEW YORK (AP) — Gym classes that promise a plump posterior are in high demand. A surgery that pumps fat into the buttocks is gaining popularity. And padded panties that give the appearance of a rounder rump are selling out.

The U.S. booty business is getting a big bump. Companies are cashing in on growing demand from women seeking the more curvaceous figures of their favorite stars, who flaunt their fuller rear ends.

Nicki Minaj, for instance, raps about her "big fat" butt in "Anaconda." Reality star Kim Kardashian posts photos of hers on Instagram. And in the music video for "Booty," Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea, wearing leotards, spend four minutes rubbing their curvy bottoms together. At one point, they slap each other on the booty.

As a result of the pop culture moment the butt is having, sales for Booty Pop, which hawks $22 foam padded panties on its website, are up 47 percent in the last six months from the same period a year earlier. The company, which declined to give sales figures, has sold out of certain styles and colors this year, including its Pink Cotton Candy Boy Shorts.

God Bless Capitalism. It makes money off of women trying to shrink their butts. Then makes money off of women trying to enlarge their butts, which is even more amazing when you consider that all women have to do is sit in front of the TV with a quart of ice cream every night to grow their butts for free.

Who in their right mind would want a butt that looks like two mesh grapefruit bags full of large curd cottage cheese? Warning: Visual may cause shrinkage!

Surgery? Padded panties? Heck, all my ex-wife needed was daytime television and a lot of junk food. By the time we divorced, her end of the sofa was permanently deformed into the shape of her enormous ass.
