FORGET diet and exercise - just
wear tighter underwear.
That’s the not-so-healthy advice
being offered to men by the
makers of a new range of figure
hugging boxer shorts.
British supermarket chain Asda
is offering the new ‘Manx’
products - named after the female
underwear brand Spanx.
The high-waisted Manx boxers
are made of special elasticised
fabric which is claimed to suck in
beer guts, lift up saggy bottoms
and eliminate pesky love handles.
“We know some guys worry
about unmanageable body
wobbles just as much as women
do, so why not offer them a little
helping hand to look their best
too?” said an Asda spokeswoman.
The Manx undies complement
Asda’s body-sculpting vest which
was introduced in 2009, and is
now popularly known as the
“moob tube”.
THERE really is something weird
about modern society in the USA.
An 83-year-old woman is
refusing to grow old gracefully,
instead opting to spend about
$10,000 on breast implants.
Marie Kolstad from Santa Ana in
California said she was hoping to
reverse the course of nature.
“Your breasts go in one
direction and your brain goes in
another,” according to a report in
the New York Times.
She said that her mother had
lived a long life, she was in good
health and so “why not take
advantage of it”.
A SPECIALLY trained force of
police in the Thai capital of
Bangkok have delivered their
42nd “traffic baby” this week.
Officers who are certified in
midwifery attended to a woman
who was stuck in a cab in one of
the city’s notorious traffic jams en
route to hospital.
The 22-year-old and her new
baby boy are both doing well, said
a story in the Bangkok Post.
