Actually this tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the male psyche--and especially about male martial artists in general. I had to work pretty hard on not, y'know, exploding with derisive laughter when I first caught a glimpse of these on the guys in the class. I settled for an external smirk, while collapsing with hilarity on the inside.
It's gone now (the patch, I mean). I just can't believe someone seriously looked at those shorts and thought, "What this really needs is more snake. On the crotch." Yeah!
Or actually, maybe I can believe it.
