That's a terrible deal even in 2026 dollars, but $19.95 in the 80s is over $70 now. If you or someone you know are struggling to look like an ass for less than $70, please DM me. I can achieve similar results at half the cost.

Men wore those shorts in the 80s. Even straight men.

Lol, like you could get the cut just right for those high kicks.

You need a master ninja to come up with that shit.

Honestly, that's the exact kind of marketing that I'd expect to work well with the brand.

The commercial could be about the ceremonial process of making the shorts in feudal Japanese tradition, especially including a part where one person throws regular jeans at a blindfolded person with a sword who cuts them midair into the perfect jorts.

Another deeply closeted biggot: Norris sucks.

Reminds me of Lt. Dangle on Reno 911 cutting his uniform pants into shorts so he could "move like a cheetah"

I saw an interview with the actor for him, and he said it was hard getting used to his penis sticking out the end of his shorts, but he managed.

Really putting the dangle in Lt. Dangle I guess.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Which came first, the shorts or the name?

I'm pretty sure I've noticed thigh highs are more lemmy style :p

[–] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Yes I have several micro shorts/skirts. Just have to shop the female aisle.

My brain took three tries to not see that as :3.

Every time, I'm endlessly amused by the implications of putting "adult size" on there. "This is not just for kids, despite what you might think because of the person promoting them." So weird.

You know, there's like a boat-load of gangs here on lemny. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

There are dozens of us.. dozens!

Hey now, some of us are sickly and emaciated!
