There was a time in Australia when you could go to the beaches and swimming pools and know exactly what you were looking at. Only two groups of men wore speedo’s for example. It was easy, if you saw a guy in speedo’s you didn’t consider flirting because they were either gay or a life saver (if you ever dated a lifesaver you would know why Aussie girls stay clear). These days are sadly gone. It would seem all sorts of men are trying on the old budgie smugglers and heading off to beaches in pools in great numbers.
Now there is a reason for this new found enthusiasm, and it is the arrival of the new Wonderjock, brought out by the Australian company AussieBUM. In the words of a company spokes man “It does for men what wonder bras have been doing for women for years, it *Lifts and Promotes*” he goes on to say that size really does matter to the average man and that swimwear using a special *POSING POUCH* is what is really needed by the great Aussie bloke. Is it just me or is the term ‘posing pouch’ just a little disturbing? The best part of the man’s speech/blurb about the new wonderjock is that he states “When you walk out of cold water, everything gets sucked into no man’s land. This product makes the most of what’s not there by lifting and promoting your natural assets and then some” The mind just boggles at the ‘then some’ until you see the ad and realise they have added a squirrel or some such small animal to pose in the pouch for the poor guy.
Judging by the ads and the absolute sell out of these wonderjocks in their first days in store it would seem that it’s the women wanting their man to wear them. I mean really girls are you sure you want your guy promoting his assets at the Dickie Beach surf carnival? For those of you who are interested to check it out, here is the link to the AussieBUM myspace (doesn’t everyone have one these days) http://www.myspace.com/aussiebum
By the look of AussieBum’s spokes model it is more like a small pacific island he has in his pants rather than a budgie. While I was innocently watching TV with a friend the wonderjock ad bounced across the screen of a current affairs show and as the image panned out my son turned to me and said *OMG what does that guy have down his pants, Tasmania?* My reply *No dear that’s a boy, girls have the map of Tasmania, did you fail biology?* (I can here the Aussies snicker and a pin drop over seas but I couldn’t resist adding the joke here for my fellow aussies)
So the next time you are watching Home and Away or Neighbours and things are looking big Down Under just remember they are all posers *wink*
