No More Swimming in Underwear

Dubai’s beaches have a new ordinance which makes it obligatory to wear proper swimwear while on the beach. They have had issues with people swimming in just underwear, which becomes transparent, or swimming fully clothed. Now beach patron must wear an actual swim suit. As a lifeguard at a pool I must say I like this new law, although sometime wet undies aint too bad.

Crotchless Panties for 7 Year Olds!

What the heck! Right here my home state too! Watch the video, it says it all.

A New World Record in Underwear, Literally

57 people in the Canary Wharf district of London set a new world record for the most people to be in a single pair of underwear. Obviously not a normal pair of undies here. But some of the participates had on some nice undies themselves.

Sperm Cooling Underwear

STUD, the baby making underwear, has designed a pair of undies that will keep your sperm cooler, thus helping to increase your fertility chances. These undies are designed with cool mesh material around your sperm producing areas, namely your testicles. These undies will run you about $60. But a much more styling option to them baggy boxers: www.studbriefs.com.

Mario Lopez Underwear Line

So Mr.Lopez former Saved By The Bell star, a title he will never out-live, has designed a new line of mens underwear. And good for him for being willing to be the model as well. He looks great. The underwear on the other hand have been getting mixed reviews. Some guys say they look like they would have been in fashion back in the 70’s. Personally I don’t know, I think Mario should send us a pair to review.

Underwear Under Toupee

Nilesh Ramlal Bari, a 28 year old man in Mumbai, stuffed his toupee with underwear. Why? He wanted to be a policeman, unfortunately he is only 165cm and they have a limit which is 168cm. So he is too short, so to pass the exam he came up with this little trick. It didn’t work and instead his little stunt make the newspaper and our international blog.

Honk If You Think I’m Sexy

A teenage boy was standing out in the street in Fairfield Connecticut in his underwear holding a sign that said “Honk if you think I’m sexy”. And of course he had a friend video taping the whole thing. It should be on YouTube soon.

Robert Downey Jr Flashes His Underwear

On his red carpet walk for the new Sherlock Holmes movie Robert made a little fashion faux pas. He tucked his shirt into his underwear as opposed to over his underwear and into his pants. So we got to see his red Calvin Klein’s. Of course Klein may have paid him to do that.

Will Tebow Win You Underwear?

Jockey announced that if Tim Tebow, who has yet to pose in Jockeys, and the Broncos win the Super Bowl they will give away a million dollars in underwear and to one winner $15,000 (Since Tebow is number 15). Jockey should have bet more, they probably won’t have to pay. But if they do win Woo Hoo! (Above is a pic of Tebow in underwear, not Jockeys, GASP)

PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

In honor of Christmas I found it only fitting to showcase a nice tree with some beautiful gifts underneath. Hamid, Nick and Trent, three of the models from the Natalie Lynn modeling agency who will be working the runway at the GUB Grind!

This also is a GUB Original picture featuring underwear generously donated to us by 2xist. Hamid is in the white Military Sport Brief . Nick is in a green Military No-Show Trunk. And Trent is in a green Military Square-Neck Tank. I love the Military Collection from 2xist! I will have a review coming out soon on this line. Thank you 2xist, Natalie Lynn, Hamid, Nick and Trent and a Merry Christmas to all of you!

This is a question that has been puzzling us for ages: How much money does the average man spend on underwear?

By now we know all about what kind of underwear and swimwear you guys wear, what size, what color, and who buys it for you.

Actually, a while back we did our own poll and asked you how much money you would spend on a pair of men’s underwear. More than 300 responded to the poll, and the results showed that the majority of you guys “only” would spend $20 or less on your undies.

We spend A LOT more, ha!

Well, now British men’s underwear store Urbanalpha.co.uk has compiled a very interesting infographic with loads of interesting underwear statistics.

See it here below – click to view full size.

And according this, on average, men spend only £1,200 on underwear – IN AN ENTIRE LIFETIME! That’s about $1,860 USD – or less than 100 pairs if you spend $20 per pair.

We’ll admit, we’re a bit shocked. Especially since the statistics show that women, on average, spend more than £20,000 on underwear in a lifetime – that’s more than $31,000 USD!

Other fun statistics compiled in the inforgraphic include

• A guy once wore 144 different pairs of underwear in 1 hour. That’s a world record we approve of!
• 29 % of Britons say they would be turned off sleeping with a new partner due to unsightly underwear

What’s the lesson here guys? Buy more stylish underwear and wash it often and properly. Chances are your romantic life will flourish because of it.

Thanks to www.urbanalpha.co.uk for supplying this information!

That’s right, I dropped “Weekly”. Who am I kidding, we all know my punctuality with this report has not been weekly recently. I will do my VERY best to keep you up on the biggest happenings in the underwear world. I promise, I just don’t promise it will happen every week.

This week has been great for us here at the GUB. We released our first original photo, and damn was it hot! I have another shoot with that model on the 20^th, plus I have three other hot models scheduled for shoots this week.

In addition to the amazing undies supplied by AussieBum I just received some great underwear from Skivvies. HOT! Ok enough about that, let’s get to the news:

GUB NEWS:

1,000 LIKES!

We hit one thousand likes on our Facebook page this week! Woo Hoo! And for those of you who haven’t kept up with our Facebook community I promised that if we hit 1,000 likes by Thanksgiving I would post a picture of myself in underwear. So here is one picture. One with my face will be added to Facebook later this week.

At the time that seemed like an almost impossible feat, but you guys did it with over a week to spare! Now I guess I have to live up to my word. So if you want to see it, “like” our face book page and stay tuned! (Above is me with my underwear collection).

Underwear Market Report

Above is a chart showing the trend in underwear sales for 2011. Underwear has long been considered an indicator of how the market is doing. In particularly men’s underwear. The theory is that men only buy new underwear when they have extra money. Of course that doesn’t go for us here. It is good to see the price of cotton has gone down. KEY: Blue-BAL cotton, Red – HBI Hanes, Green WRC Warnaco (Group that includes Calvin Klein), Yellow – LTD Limited Brands (Group that includes Victoria’s Secret), Brown – MFB Maidenform Brands.

Should We Wear Eco-Friendly Underwear?

According to a post on Care2.com, we should consider it. Why? Basically it goes back to cotton, organic versus conventionally grown cotton. Cotton covers 2.5 percent of the world’s cultivated land and uses 16 to 25 percent of the worlds pesticides. Cotton uses more chemical products in production than any other agricultural product. So organic methods can help reduce this pollution. And organic undies can help.

Tebow Underwear Billboard

Jockey is going to put up a billboard in Denver featuring Tim Tebow now that he actually is being used by the Broncos. So what will he be wearing? A pair of jeans, and a baggy T-shirt!!! Sorry but I have to say, WORST UNDERWEAR BILLBOARD EVER! We love you Jockey, but get Tebow in underwear or get a new spokesperson.

Underwear Mayor

Medford, New Jersey Mayor Chris Myers, a Republican, says that he won’t resign, but didn’t deny allegations that he paid for gay sex while visiting California last October.

Nor will he confirm or deny a picture (Above) that appears to be him wearing blue Calvin Klein underwear, which was posted on the gay website Rentboy.com. Good for him!

Hair Rules

A movie entitled “Hair Rules” was shown at the Houston Comedy Film Festival. The movie is about a man, named Bruce, trying to become an underwear model. Well you know Bruce, we would love to have you model for us at the GUB.

UNDERWEAR CRIME:

Underwear Bang Bang

A 20–year-old man wound up sleeping it off at the Barrie police station, in Ontario Canada, Saturday morning (October 22) after he showed up in his underwear at a home around 7:30 a.m. and began banging on the door. The people at the residence didn’t know the man, police say, a student from South River. He was charged with causing a disturbance and has a future court date. Why can’t underwear clad 20 year old come bang on my door?

Legally Required Underwear

David Jones, of the UK, has been sentenced to underwear. He has spent a year in jail of accounts of indecent exposure. He flashed several women in a Alfreton Library. Part of his departing agreement is that he MUST wear underwear when he goes out in public. I wonder if he’s allowed to have a fly front?

Depantsed Burglar

On night in Mesa Arizona a couple came home to find a burglar in their home. The wife spotted the 23 year old man and the husband pursued him. Joshua Randall, the burglar, struck the husband with a bronze candle and even bit off a piece of his ear! Somehow during the struggle Randall lost his pants and had to flee the scene in his underwear. It’s always good to depants any man who enters your home.

Depantsed by Police

Joseph Knight of Tennessee was arrested by the local police. While they were trying to verify his identity he bolted and ran while still handcuffed. A struggle ensued and Knight got away but somehow lost his pants in the mayhem. How did the police get his pants but lose him?

An Ear In Inmates Underwear!

Yes you read that right. A man being processed at a Greek prison had an ear hidden in the crotch of his underwear. He told authorities it was a sheep’s ear and that he normally wore it around his neck but didn’t want it taken from him so he hid it. The authorities can not figure out if it really is a sheep’s ear or a human’s. Wow.

Robbed and left in Underwear

A man, in Walterboro South Carolina, was left standing in his underwear late on Friday night after men reportedly approached him at an intersection and took his shirt, pants and shoes. According to an incident report, the man was walking down the Street when an unknown man in a Buick pulled up beside him and three men jumped out of the car. The victim told investigators the three men surrounded him, pulled a knife and stuck it to his side. They then reportedly demanded he take off all his clothes, well almost all. They also took his wallet containing $235. But at least he kept his underwear.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

Here it is! The official picture for the GUB Grind! It’s one of our favorite GUB models, Adam Coussins, posing for the cameras over at deadgoodundies.com. We thank them for donating this picture and allowing us to use it in publicizing the event. Hope you enjoy!

So bare with us with this post, as the focus of the Barcode Berlin photo spread below is actually their new sock ranges, “Football” and “City”

But they are clever, these Barcode guys. Because they put the socks on male underwear models wearing sexy (and skimpy) underwear and sportswear. We love the wrestling singlet!

Indeed with these pictures, Barcode Berlin manages to persuade us that socks can be sexy. And appropriate, too.

Winter is coming. If you’re like the rest of us who like to run around the house in just our underwear, these new sock lines might be just be the perfect accessory for those days when it gets a little chilly, even inside.

Check out their entire underwear range – and sock range – at shop.barcodeberlin.com.

So, this is fun!

The guys over at Julianna Rae recently compiled a fascinating infographic over various statistics about the underwear habits and preferences of American men and women.

We bet you’ll find some of these statistics quite surprising – maybe even shocking!

First off, the question of boxers vs. briefs has been around as long as underwear has existed. NoW, there’s an interesting new take on this old discussion:

According to pollwizard.com, 63 % of men and women prefer briefs on men!

We like those statistics! Hurray. We prefer briefs on men, too.

And actually, it fits quite well with our own men’s underwear preference poll which more than 2,400 guys have taken part in.

Our poll shows that 33 % of men prefer to wear briefs. In second place come boxer briefs with 29 %. Just 12,50 % of men prefer traditional boxers. That’s even less than thongs (13 %).

But that’s not all. Julianna Rae reveals many more amusing underwear stats.

Like, 25 % of American men own underwear that’s more than 5 years old. 11 % own underwear that’s more than 10 years old!!

If you fall into either of those categories, it’s seriously time to invest in some new undies…

And what do you wear to bed? Well, apparently most of us wear nothing at all (44 %) while just 31 % wear underwear. Wow.

See more revealing statistics below or go to Julianna Rae for even more info.

Hello Gubbers! I love you! I am back with an all new report. It’s been a while since my last one, I am very sorry about that. Now I have almost too much to report; some really great stuff too! First off can you believe it’s October? What the heck! Ok I’ll stop screaming with all these exclamations. Let’s get to the news:

GUB NEWS: The “GUB Grind”

Something HUGE is coming! I can’t give all the details yet because this project is still in the planning stage. But around Valentines Day we are going to hosting a big underwear party somewhere. We are in the talks with several amazing underwear brands and several HOT models (Including the one pictured above, the man I asked to marry me lol). More info to come soon.

GUB NEWS: Underwear Shopping

We are going to be putting together an underwear shopping guide for Christmas and want your help. Let us know about your experiences with on-line or in store shopping. We want to hear it all; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Tell us your favorite stores for underwear and why. We also want to know about any stores or products you would avoid. Yes, this is going to be a real and honest guide! Send your comments to yourundies@guysunderwearblog.com.

UPDATE: Largest Pair of Underwear Returned

A while back we reported that the world’s largest pair of underwear had been stolen from the City Museum in St. Louis. How credible that claim or museum are is still in question. Well, the 7 feet wide, 6 feet tall with a 16 feet waist pair of underwear has been returned. And with is was a new pair of woman’s panties the same size. Hmmm… Can you say publicity stunt? Although I do want to go see them now.

UPDATE: Beckham

So, I have heard it from several reports that David Beckhams highly anticipated new line of underwear is going to include long johns. The line reportedly called “Choctaw Ridge”, because David is now a Native American (joke), will be sold at Barney’s. I’m sure online as well. Stylecaster.com has reported that David will not model the underwear. Really?! What’s the point Beckham, I hope this isn’t true.

UPDATE: Rwanda’s Used Underwear Market Receives a Deadline

As previously mentioned on the weekly report Rwanda, like several other countries, has posted a ban on the sales of used underwear. They have given merchants a deadline; December 31, 2011. So if you are a fan of used underwear in Rwanda you better get to shopping now!

New Underwear for Australian Soldiers

The Aussie Diggers, soldiers, will receive a new pair of lightweight high quality silk underwear. They are designed to improve mobility and protect against shrapnel. They go along with a new lightweight body armor the British soldiers are already using. Ok, if any of you Diggers out there are reading this; I need a pair of those undies! PLEASE!

Starbucks Barista Fired After Underwear Post on YouTube

Barista, Chris Christwell, was fired after posting a song about Starbucks on YouTube. He sang the song with a guitar wearing only an apron and his underwear. After listening to the song I don’t think the fact that he was in underwear had anything to do with it. By the way Chris, want to be interviewed for “My Lucky Undies”?

Four Players Kicked out of Game for the Color of Underwear

Four students and their manager were kicked out of a soccer game between Newport County and Bath City Academy in the FA Youth Cup. The rules state that your underwear needs to be the same as your shorts so as not to draw too much attention to it. The students shorts were red, their underwear white and black. Apparently the players, aged around 16 and 17, were made to pull their pants down to show their underwear. I think someone needs to do a background check on that ref!

Zac Efron in his Underwear

Here’s a picture of Zac in underwear on the set of the movie Paperboy. I have a comment for the director, Lee Daniels. First of all I love you Lee! Precious was AMAZING! However, next time there is a male underwear scene in one of your movies, please consult me first.

Underwear Commercial

I’m not exactly sure what’s going on in this commercial, but I love it! I want some Athena HAPPY’s! I know, I know I need to calm down.

Where Are the MEN!

London’s famous Tabloid “the Sun” has posted it’s top 10 celebrity underwear shoots. Not one of them was a man! And I only had ever heard of four of the women. What about Beckham, Wahlberg, Palmer or Sabato Jr? Come on SUN!

Loosen Up Utah!

September 1^st thousands of men and woman ran through Salt Lake City to make a statement: Don’t be so uptight Utah! From the pictures I’ve seen I think our Utah brothers should run around in underwear all the time.

THE WEEK IN UNDERWEAR CRIME:

Mom Shovels Underwear Clad Son

A 49-year-old mom, Priscilla Ethridge, was jailed after she allegedly told Walton County Sheriff’s Office deputies she hit her son, who was standing in his underwear, with a shovel handle and told him to get out of her home, reports the Northwest Florida Daily News in Fort Walton Beach. Her son, who is on probation, suffered either a broken or dislocated elbow. What a lovely family.

Chased Away by Underwear Man

A man in Buffalo New York chased a burglar out of his home and into the street. He was carrying a Glock pistol and was in nothing more than his underwear. He didn’t realize this till he was in the middle of the street. No need for shame man, just send me a pic.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

This week we have a picture that is a few weeks behind. Yes, I am a slacker sometimes. Winning the picture was “Bed Cap”! Congratulations man, and thank you for that great picture of yourself in a nice comfy bed just wearing your skivvies and a ball cap. NICE! And I thank all our contestants for their participation and great pictures. For a variety of reasons we need to put the contest on hold for a while. However I will keep any submissions we receive as well as all previous submissions that haven’t made it to the finals yet so that once we get going again you will be up for the prize. So you can still send us your underwear pictures, I won’t mind. Send them to yourundies@guysunderwearblog.com

Are you ready for the weekend, guys??

If you’re in need of some sexy new undies, we found 3 hot briefs from Skivvies that you may want to consider.

Born out of a 15-year experience with selling mens fashion underwear, “Skivvies” brand is a combination of all the best aspects that men like in their favorite pairs: soft fabrication, comfortable fit, ample pouch, butt room, and good looks.  Put these together and you have the new Skivvies line of mens underwear.

I always love exploring a new world of underwear and just when you think you have tried every kind of underwear out there you get an exciting new adventure thrown at you. Case in question: BOQARI.

You may have heard of this new brand that launched exclusively on Amazon in April of 2010. Nowadays it’s available on their online store and everyday it’s growing in popularity.

The concept behind this windswept desert of Arizona born underwear is that of adventure and legend. BOQARI is taking your underwear for a wild ride. The look of BOQARI is simple yet elegant, not what you would expect from an adventurous concept, but it’s durable and actually great for travel.

As the easy to use washing instructions state “Hand Wash With Mild Soap and Warm Water, Squeeze, and Hang Dry”, so you could travel with 2 pair alternating wash and wear. Plus they take up very little space. Of course I don’t think this was the idea, but I think it would be great for a back packer.

So what makes BOQARI so different? BOQARI undies are woven on Italian Jacquard machines using an ultra-soft, comfortable, body hugging nylon blend. Seamless knitting technology weaves the garment in a seamless circle, meaning there are no front, back, or side seams.

They are ideal for sporting under form fitting pants, for yoga, lounging, swimming, or playtime! They really are seamless; the only seams would be located between the legs which would not be seen anyway. They have a very European sophistication to them. They are elegant, sexy and very stylish.

Some would question the “manly” factor of these undies, are they too frilly so that they come across feminine? The answer is no… and yes.

Honestly that depends on you!

A man with a strong feminine side may have that highlighted by the almost lace look of the mesh designs or the fact that they fit so smoothly and flat. However a manly man in the same underwear will have his masculinity brought out by the undertone of the subtle framing of the square cut and his muscles will definitely be contoured perfectly. The soft, stretchy and silhouette-defining material will make you feel and look sexy whatever your personality.

The BOQARI collection comes in a solid Argyle and Square Jacquard, or in a Jamaica Mesh, a Square Mesh or a BQ Signature Mesh (with BOQARI written in mesh around the sides and back).

The undies come in black, dried herb, euro grey, lavender, amparo, lily green, vanilla, sky blue, jet black, old school grey, spank me purple, bad boy blue, Modena red, paparazzi pink, midnight blue, irie yellow and turquoise depending on the style – so you have a huge selection to choose from.

I have a euro grey Jamaica Mesh, the meshiest of the mesh, and a black Square Mesh. I wore them several times and have to admit they really make you feel sexy! They come in two sizes s/m, and l/xl, which may seem limiting but the material, which is a 95% nylon 5% spandex blend, is so stretchy they will fit any build within their general sizing.

The flat front of the underwear is without a pouch yet again the stretchiness allows your guys to have room down there. However, if you are looking for support in an athletic way the underwear doesn’t offer much.

The mesh is kind of large, not just like a pair of basketball shorts, and primarily with the Jamaica Mesh it was noticeable as I could feel the mesh rubbing my butt when I moved. But it wasn’t uncomfortable or irritating, just noticeable.

I wore the underwear through everything several times giving them a good test and they held out well. I was pretty comfortable, not a lot of chaffing or continual adjusting being needed, nor did I feel like I was “unprotected” under my jeans (if you know what I mean).

I even tried the simple hand wash and dry and they came out nice and fresh! I did notice that after a few wears there were some snags and minor runs around the mesh.

I think the BOQARI collection of underwear is a great addition to any man’s collection and is great for those days when you need a little extra class and sexiness in your life.

BOQARI also offers tank tops which almost have a muscle shirt appearance and match the underwear’s fabric. You can also pick up a BOQARI getaway bag or some pretty styling out ear buds or speakers.

I look forward to seeing what BOQARI has in store for us in the future; this is definitely a company to keep an eye on.

A few days ago, N2N Bodywear had their yearly Erotic Fashion Show at Micky’s in West Hollywood. Here, some of the hottest male underwear models showed off N2N underwear, loungewear, activewear and eroticwear.

The video just came out, and that’s quite lucky for all us unfortunate souls who are not blessed with an address in sunny California. For it is FILLED with gorgeous undies. 6 minutes and 42 seconds of one sexy pair of N2N underwear after another.

Seriously, sometimes I forget how many hot styles the Los Angeles-based men’s underwear brand has under its name. And they’re all represented in the video: Briefs, bikni briefs, sport briefs, singlets, jockstraps, boxers, trunks.

You MUST check out the video below.

Some of my favorite styles in the clip below include – naturally – the briefs, but I’m also strangely fascinated by those low-rise jammer-type runner pants. By the way, the runner pants range between $38 and $46 USD.

Also, if you’re a N2N fan, you should check out their current clearance sale where you can get selected styles for as little as $10 USD.

Go to www.n2nbodywear.com to shop and see more pictures.

But first, feast your eyes on the 2011 N2N fashion show video.

Ok, I know I have been slacking again but I assure you I have not left the world of underwear. Summer just flew by to fast and I completely was lost in it’s wake. But I have my feet back on the ground and have a lot of great things to bring to you guys. I just finished going through months (literally) of underwear news articles and am almost, just almost, tired of hearing about underwear if that were possible. SO here are some highlights from the world of underwear this past summer:

Beckham, Beckham, Beckham!

The world of men’s underwear has been overloaded with news of Beckham’s new underwear line. This isn’t new, he announced to the world he was working on a line almost a year ago. And I asked if I could have the first review and am still waiting for a response. Here is the latest on the highly anticipated line; it’s reportedly going to be released in February and will be distributed by the international retailer H&M. He has called the line his “Bodywear Range” possibly his brand name. Past reports have also had an Armani connection. Excitement is building!

In Jail and charged for Underwear

A Florida sheriff is now charging his jail mates for underwear. At one time they were given 5 pairs of underwear but now they are charged $2.54 for a brief or $4.48 for a boxer. The Sheriff said if they want to wear underwear they can buy it like everyone else. Women will still be given 5 pairs… Unfair! I read these jail and prison underwear articles all the time, if I go to jail I want my own undies!

National Underwear Day

The 9^th annual National Underwear Day was held August 5^th. As part of the celebration Freshpair.com gave away 5,000 pairs of underwear during the month of August. Dang I missed out! Next year’s National Underwear Day will also be August 5^th. I am not sure if Freshpair has the authority to create a “National” holiday or not but I like the idea. Next year lets all celebrate.

Male Stripper Survives 8 Days By Eating His Underwear

Yes this is true! David Statham, 32, survived for 8 days by eating his edible underwear. The stripper was trapped in the rubble of a Victorian Church hall where he was set to perform when it collapsed. A stripper in a church that collapses so he eats his yellow banana flavored underwear… There are no words. Actually this was taken from a fake newspaper, but I thought it was funny. Sorry…

New York City Underwear Run

A record was set August 5th when more than 500 runners competed in the New York City Jamaican Underwear Race competing for a trip for two to Jamaica. Some people where just in undies and others decked themselves out in costumes (still underwear themed). All runners won a pair of underwear at the finish line. The race was in Central Park and not Jamaica Queens by the way.

Houston’s HOT Underwear Run

Houston also held an underwear run, the second annual Hot Underwear Run open to anyone 21 and up with a sense of humor and a pair of underwear. Runners were asked to bring a new package of underwear or socks that would be donated to “Undies for Everyone” making sure underprivileged children in Houston have underwear.

Tuscan Cities Ban Underwear Sales

Several cities around the Tuscan region of Italy have banned the sale of underwear with Italian landmarks and tourist spots printed on them. They have called these souvenirs “obscene”. The underwear in question has pictures of the leaning tower of Pisa, Michael Angelo’s David or some other landmark printed on the crotch. I guess we’ll have to buy these undies online rather than in person now.

World’s Largest Underwear Missing

The City Museum in St. Louis issued an APB for the worlds largest underwear. No one knows where they went but the 7ft high by 6ft wide pair of underwear is gone.

THE WEEK IN UNDERWEAR CRIME

Wisconsin Man Throws His Underwear at Police

The title says it all. Christopher Innerebner, 28, got drunk and was angry the bartender wouldn’t serve him more alcohol so he made a scene and even threw up on other customers. When the police arrived he stripped and threw his underwear at the police. They were boxers by the way.

Denver Anchors Laugh at Dallas Thief

Can you blame them? You may have seen this video of a Thief in Dallas in a floral dress with briefs on his head robbing a gas station. My favorite part of this video is the end when the anchor man says “Son you got a panty on your head”, and the woman replies “those are huge”.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK

As summer nears its end here in the northern hemisphere and we celebrate Labor Day in the United States it’s only appropriate to reflect on the beauty of underwear outside in nature. This week we feature an ad from Jockey where we find a man in his underwear standing in a nice summer stream. I hope you men have had a great summer and enjoy the warmth while you can.
