I’d Much Rather Go Pantless
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Catalog | Posted on 25-02-2012
Those of you who have been following me for awhile know about the stupid catalog the Lady Friend and I get in the mail. It’s mostly full of knick knack garbage along with some occasional items that are so ridiculously moronic that I feel the need to share them with all of you!
I’ve shared with you these wooden shelf signs and ugly towel huggers in recent months.
And today’s catalog item is no less stupid then those. Lounge Pants.. for dudes.
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing these. Yes, even my corpse would find a way to shake them off.
I’m sure you have seen those pajama jean things for women. Look for their ads on late night TV in case you ever have a bad case of insomnia and the desire to be completely dumbfounded for 60 seconds.
Pajama jeans are basically a pair of sweat pants made out to look like jeans. So that the woman who is too lazy to put on real clothes can still present the image of someone less lazy. Good luck with all that.
But this is the first time I have see a similar product for men. There are lots of reasons to hate on these, but I am going to just focus on two of them.
1. They are ugly. Very ugly. They don’t really look much like jeans to tell you the truth. But the kind of jeans they do resemble are the kind of jeans you’d really only wear if you were painting. Or if it was 1988.
2. Guys don’t really give a shit about hiding the fact that they are wearing sweat pants. If you’re the kind of guy who wears sweatpants out in public while NOT playing some kind of sport (I am not one of those guys) then you probably don’t care who knows it.
The other thing disturbing about this is the picture of the shirtless guy. How is that a selling point??? I don’t often wish bad things on people, but I truly hope the company that came up with this idea goes down in flames and files for bankruptcy.
Serves them right for bringing this crap into the world.
Have a good weekend!

I’m pretty sure my favorite part is the bit of fake boxer peaking above the top of the “jeans” so we really think you’re wearing low riding super stylish jeans. Wow! Just wow!

LAWD, he just needs a can of skoal and a beer guzzler hat and I could hook him up with a bunch of my redneck West Virginia buddies.

Ridiculous!
Wear sweats if you are going to lounge. Or pajama pants. There’s no reason for them to look like jeans! Sheesh! The sad part is, somebody will buy them!

Well, who wouldn’t rather go pantless? Except at church, though. But, you’d probably get faster service at the DMV. And thrown out of ‘Burger King.’

I admit, they are gross! What’s next jeans that look like sweatpants? That is a crazy catalog you get!

Had an aunt buy these for my husband at Christmas a few years ago. They never made their way home, poor things…

Wow! This looks like something that would end up on Dave Barry’s Christmas Gift List of the top most terrible ideas for gifts.

Wait – why the hell does the guy wearing a shirt have his shirt tucked into the faux jeans??? Wow. That’s special. But, c’mon, SD, admit it… you do want a pair (snort). Sadly, I think I know what catalog this is because I get it too (or at least one that sells this same kind of kitschy crap).

Damn, that shirtless dude is certainly strange.
Perhaps they want you to think that you will look that good?

I think the problem here is that we are focusing on the negative. Let’s try something positive! Um… um… um…
How bout this? At least they aren’t jeggings.

I actually used to own a non-white-trash version of these years ago when I worked at an office where sweats were off-limits. It took around thirty washes before I got caught by my supervisor.
I am digging your blog, and will hit the follow button for more.

I confess, I zoomed in to see the shirtless guy. Pants are awful, but his abs are pretty nice…
Yeah, I am old perve but you knew that already

I freaking hate these goddamn pants. They embarrass us as a country. I’m sure other countries are just looking at us in our stupid jean sweatpants wrapped in our forever lazies just judging us. I want to gather them all these useless items up and burn them in a gianormous bonfire… whilst drinking a beer.

The sad thing is that someone is going to get this same magazine, see this ad and bust out a joyous “Finally!! Someone created just want I need!”
I feel very, very sad for that person.

YES! I love the fake boxer part. These are just soo sexy. To even consider buying these is a crime.

But how is the shirtless guy NOT a selling point? If you wear these trousers (and oil yourself up a bit), you too could look like him. Come on, if it’s in a catalogue, it must be true.
On an unrelated note, I admire the fact that your corpse is not defeated by something so minor as death when it comes to the important question of fashion sense. No one wants to be embarrassing when they’re dead.
