Or maybe it’s just that they’re smart businesspeople who recognize that it’s the rest of the world is bizarre and why not make a buck off it?
Nothing says classy like some dick underwear, such as this pair being sold in Rome.
Regardless, I developed a total fascination with these gross boxer shorts being sold all over Italy (or at least the places I went).
I’m honestly not sure about the intent here.
- Is it to provide advance warning in order to minimize the shock and disappointment? (As in, “Oh. Okay. Yeah. I suppose I should have gotten the hint…”)
- Or is it to make a good first impression and impart a happy rush of relief? (As in, “Oh thank God! You had me worried for a second there!”)
For the sophisticate, they also come in black and white.
- Or is it simply a way of communicating, “I’m a big art lover, just like you.”
The world may never know.

You know I never saw any of those the whole time I was there. ( may have had something to do with the fact I was very ill and only left the house twice……maybe I should be thankful for that ?? )….
But Italians are bizarre at the best of times. Who else would give you a syringe of your prescribed medecine and leave you to find someone who looks suitable to stick it up you ?? Oh yes….the Italians…..
