Why do marketers constantly discriminate against older people? I still wear my Underoos proudly everyday when I go to work. And yes, they are still a ton of fun to put on.

Looking to buy that special person in your life a unique gift this Christmas? Crusty undies may be the way to go.

www.TheRandomShop.co.uk, one of the UK’s leading online gift idea shops, has created what is believed to be the first of its kind in the world. A gift product that is more likely to cause a rift instead of being a cherished gift. The now infamous ‘home delivered, gift wrapped crusty pants’.

At this stage it should be known that pants in the UK are what are known in the states as “tighty whiteys”, the non-flattering y-fronted variety.

The prank was created by the owners of the website who are all university graduates, so it is nice to know that these chaps degrees have been put to good use.

Roy Bellis The Random Shops marketing manager explains: “The concept for the home delivered crusty pants was formulated 5 years ago in a university prank that was so funny that it had to be a hit prank in the gift market”.

Mr Bellis went on “We use a secret formula to create both the texture and smell of how a pair of crusty pants should be”, “the key to this gift prank is that the item is firstly ordered by the pranker and the delivery address is set as the prankee’s address. The crusty pants are created by hand and then are beautifully gift wrapped so that when the recipient receives the item they think it is a lovely surprise gift, but when they open it they get the shock of their lives”.

www.TheRandomShop.co.uk certainly have created a prank so Random it seems fitting that it has come from the self proclaimed “home of random gift ideas”.

So far The Random Shop are averaging 1 sale per week of “home delivered crusty pants”, but they have said that this is expected to rise to 1 a day during the busy Christmas gift buying period.

One cautious note from The Random Shop to potential buyers of the home delivered crusty pants is to ensure that you set the delivery address as the person who you want to prank, because if not you will be getting a nasty surprise of your own!

In the hope of extending my bike riding season before the cold weather hits I searched the internet to find the perfect solution to keep my legs warm. And of course, where else would this search lead me than an e-Mancipate, an online project founded in 2003 to speed up the mainstreaming process of male pantyhose, which started in the late 90’s.

Are Mantyhose the way I should go?

Pantyhose for Men – an introduction

Surprise or not – many men do wear pantyhose (tights in the UK) as a regular clothing item. Why? Why not? If you think a bit you see nothing gender-specific in this garment, except that it was worn mostly by women during the last fifty years.

Well, they wear it for some reasons of course: “Men who wear pantyhose do it to improve athletic performance, energize and revitalize tired, aching leg muscles, and to stimulate circulation if they sit all day. In addition, compression can help reduce swelling and decrease the dangers of circulatory problems. And of course there are many men who simply like the soft material and the comfort that sheer pantyhose provides.” (Citation from Wikipedia).

So isn’t it …? No it isn’t …! There are many manufacturers who produce pantyhose exclusively for men, and there are some who produce unisex pantyhose. If you are a men, you might try it for the winter (click here for a list of shops) instead of some bulky undergarments. If you are a woman, you might have found a perfect present for your man.

So why is this page up? To promote the idea of pantyhose for men, and to help those who like the material with practical tips. As it’s a relatively new thing, some might feel uncomfortable or confused with the situation – that his legs are covered by pantyhose.

One after the other, the models strutted across the stage to bouncy ’80s dance tunes, all showing off designs of the same article of clothing — adult diapers.

Japan has one of the world’s most rapidly aging societies, and the fashion show Thursday proved the country’s diaper producers are intent on keeping the elderly clean and dry.

“Diapers are something that people don’t want to look at,” said Kiyoko Hamada of the Aging Lifestyle Research Center, a leading organizer of the show.

“But if you make them attractive, then people can learn about them more easily,” she said.

Growing old won’t be so bad after all. Bring it on.

Ahh the one night stand.

Funny how this old trick still works for women but if a man left behind a pair of soiled undies he would be instantly dismissed as a complete loser. Life is not always fair I tell you. Perhaps if she learned how to spell her odds of getting her bras back would increase.
