WOMEN have declared Marks & Spencers new bulge-enhancing wonderpants for men a truly swell idea.
Yesterday we told how the company had developed the upfront undies, called Urban Survivor, to do for mens tackle what the Wonderbra has done for womens boobs.
To find out what effect the £8 not-so-smalls would have on the ladies, we sent model Jeremy Frisbee out on a package tour of Londons streets.
With him was pal Edward Cutcliffe, 22, who was wearing his normal no-support Calvin Kleins.
Box of tricks ... girls in bar get an eyeful
Without the benefit of the pulling pants, poor Edward was ignored by the girls, who only had eyes for Jeremy.
Receptionist Michelle Peak, 24, of Beckenham, Kent, said: The pants are great. I am shocked that they can do that for a man.
I couldnt take my eyes off his bulge. Who says size doesnt matter?.
Giant sighs ... Jez and Cathy Cook
Credit controller Tasmin Nother, 26, from Enfield, Middlesex, said: I wouldnt like my man wearing them if he was going to get all this attention.
But they are great for a guy who has a maggot rather than a snake.
But supervisor Michele Faires, 24, said: Im not bothered about size. Its what you do with it. My boyfriend would be too embarrassed to wear these.
Grandmother Cathy Cook, from St Katherines Dock, East London, said: I dont know where to look. I am shocked that good old Marks & Sparks have come up with this. Im not too sure if I could get my two sons to wear them.
PA Anna Hazel, 33, from Camberwell, south London, said: What a whopper! My hubby is just fine down there but its a great thing for men to be able to buy from the high street.
Marina Chrysanthou, 29, an accounts assistant from Camberley, Surrey, said: For years women have been able to buy push-up bras and tummy controller underwear so its about time men had something to help them in that region.
Marks & Spencer yesterday bought 1,000 copies of The Sun
featuring their undies. They will be given to menswear departments to help them cope with the rush of customers when the smalls go on sale nationwide next month.

That is nasty.......whats next, wet panties for women, then we can all walk around looking like we are in heat.
To: AppyPappy
And then what happens when the pants work, she says "take me"... and then later in more private surroundings... does she sue for false advertising?

Like the "Bro" or the "Manssiere"

This isn't a new idea. In the 16th-17th centuries, men wore codpieces to draw female attention to their endowment. This is simply a modern variant.

Here's an even better way to enhance:
Of course it's a woman in the photo so she might look a little odd carrying a .44M under there, but a guy would look huge.

Did someone say codpiece? You're right, this isn't a new idea:

From
This is Spinal Tap DAVID: Well it's a sexual thing, really isn't it. Aside from the identifying the boys do with us there's also a re-reaction to the female.....of the female to our music. How did you put it?
NIGEL: Really they're quite fearful - that's my theory. They see us on stage with tight trousers we've got, you know, armadillos in our trousers, I mean it's really quite frightening...
DAVID: Yeah.
NIGEL: ...the size...and and they, they run screaming.

Well, Al Gore had his moment back in 2000 when he "airbrushed" his endowments on the cover of (was it) Esquire magazine? I think guys who need to prove themselves there, much not have much else worthwhile or they wouldn't be so desperate for that focus!
To: Equality 7-2521
Reminds me of those women in swimsuits shooting guns in the Chicks With Guns video in the Quentin Tarantino flick Jackie Brown. There's obviously sexual symbolism in women firing sub-machine guns if one thinks about it!

Well, when I was a girl, there was a guy in my class with the nickname of "Socks". Whenever we'd ask why his name was Socks, he would mutter something about not knowing why. We finally learned that he was guilty of stuffing a pair of rolled up socks in his pants to enhance his appearance. Poor Soul. This would have been so much easier for him.

I've tried a lot of different 'concealing locations' when carrying but THAT LOCATION is NOT one for consideration... lol!!!

Women look marvelous and men are unhappy they themselves look well so undistinguished. The only time we really catch a woman's attention is well... when we're starting to get ready to get to ahem... home base! When it comes to radiating sexuality, men should forget about trying to compete with women since they just look pathetic even attempting to advertise their own equipment!

I just invented Roxers: Boxers that show off big rocks. It has a wheelbarrel attachment...
These wonderpants are so gay.
