The two styles — one that provides a lift in the back, and another that provides a little something extra up front — have actually been engineered by M&S technologists (their mothers must be so proud). The bum-lift pant, which costs 15 pounds — about $24 — is constructed to elevate and shape the buttocks for a 20 percent visual lift. The frontal enhancement pant, available for 10 pounds or about $16, has been constructed with a “shelf” that allows for a 38 percent visual enhancement in size.

“Our technologists have worked hard to engineer styles that are comfortable to wear and that give real results,” reads the M&S release. “These pants provide a real confidence boost for men, and we think they will prove popular with our customers.”

If the 'little something up front' comes with a remote control so I can make it do some kind of odd slithering action, well then, that would be lots of fun at the grocery store. Imagine the stares. XD Adding a tiny speaker on it so I can pipe sound effects directly out of it would be nice also -- mew?

How about the two dumb men who after stealing some chickens decide to hide in a movie. So they shove the chickens down their pants and hide in the crowded seats.

Well, Millie and Tessie both little old ladies in their 70's or 80's, buy their popcorn and go into the theater. They sit down next to the two men not knowing they ahve chickens. ...

The one man opens his zipper to stop the chicken from pecking him.

Millie says to Tessie: That man next to me opened his pants and let his thing out.

Tessie says: So, you've seen one you've seen them all.

Millie replies: Yes, but this one is eating my popcorn.

Reminds me of good old King Henry the VIII, who had this penis extension on his britches which you can see in any painting of him but it was reported that he could hardly get his little Henry in it, maybe that's why he had so many wives.

While I know that fashion often repeats itself over the course of centuries, I never expected that codpieces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codpiece) would return in my lifetime.

I knew that it was time for some abrupt change. The young male fashion of baggy pants had reached (or passed) its logical extreme. I’ve seen some young males where the crotch on their pants was below knee level and the waist was so low and loose that they had to keep one hand on their pants to keep them from falling off as they walked. The next logical step would have to be in a totally different direction.

I had been rather expecting that there might be a move back to the skin-tight jeans of my high school days – the sort that some of the girls were sewn into in the morning and the seams had to be ripped for them to get out of them at night. We used to joke that some of the boys wore their jeans so tight that you could see their circumcision scars through them. That’s running things in exactly the opposite direction from baggy.

Instead, it looks as if we may be heading back toward the mid-16th century in fashion with men in decorated codpieces. Some of the fancier ones had ribbons and tassels attached (just in case you otherwise didn’t notice their huge size). Here are images of a couple of “sedate” codpieces of the era:

^-- They have special suspenders to keep the pants and shorts super low nowadays. lol. I live in a ghetto area so that kind of thing soo ridiculously prevalent. It is seriously funny to see someone wearing super-long suspenders to keep the waste of their shorts poised right above their knees, with the bottom of the short legs perched not far from their ankles. And to see so many people wearing them like that! lol. fun stuff.
