Wonderpants - The Man's Equivalent of a Wonderbra
The Sun ^ | 27 August 2002

Posted on 08/27/2002 8:18:41 AM PDT by JediGirl

WOMEN have declared Marks & Spencer’s 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 men’s tackle what the Wonderbra has done for women’s 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 London’s 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 couldn’t take my eyes off his bulge. Who says size doesn’t matter?.”

Giant sighs ... Jez and Cathy Cook

Credit controller Tasmin Nother, 26, from Enfield, Middlesex, said: “I wouldn’t 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: “I’m not bothered about size. It’s what you do with it. My boyfriend would be too embarrassed to wear these.”

Grandmother Cathy Cook, from St Katherine’s Dock, East London, said: “I don’t know where to look. I am shocked that good old Marks & Sparks have come up with this. I’m 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 it’s 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 it’s 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.

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.

Yeah, but this time around we get all the tasteful commercials.

Aren't you anxious to see Slick and Dole in their new Wonderpants?

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?

-----------------------

No, she goes into a diatribe against the world for viewing women as sex objects.

Well, then there's the one from Hee-Haw...

You took off yor peg leg, yor wig an' yor glass eye,
You should have seen the look on yor face...
I wanted to kiss you and hug you my darlin'
But you were scattered all over the place.

Where O, where are you tonite...

What are you going to do, carry around your math book for the rest of your life?

I have no desire to relive middle school, like that.

Oh, dear, I had repressed Hee-Haw!

Are you any relation to Corin Thunderfist in "The Horse and His Boy"? Just curious.

Rolled up socks do the trick just as well. And a whole lot cheaper than buying those over priced duds.

But the bottom line to all of this: A large bulge is only gonna attract gays.

Wonderpants were, of course, invented by Algore...

Don't need 'em.

They won't sell well among Italians, either. They'd be kind of redundant.

When I tell people that I'm half-Italian, they always ask me what half and I always tell them "where it counts the most."

Then again, my father's people, the Poles, are also known for their long, thick sausages. ;-)

I remember several years ago there was this incredibly hot girl in math class...needless to say, there were a couple times I am glad I was not called to teh front of the class to do a math problem.....

I must say, this whole wonderpants thing is rather hilarious since they REALLY exaggerate and anybody can see it is fake.....

"Can't sleep with all this racket.
What's this about LadyX's inspection being "too personal?""

Sorry, Captain.
Before going ashore for leave, it will be necessary for all male crew members to have inspection for certain 'unnecessary' items.

Wouldn't want use thereof to reflect badly on The Mobious Triangle."

There will be no false advertising allowed.

(it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it..:))
