These are great to wear if your legs are pregnant, as can happen in some nightmares.

Which way is up?

Mitzi said...

Wait a minute! These are "boy shorts"? Where do these people hang out?

waldobaby said...

At my house...

There are no words... (well, there probably are, I just can't think of any witty enough at the moment...)

"That is NOT a PSD. Now THAT is a TUM-uh!"

Either that or she should lay-off the quadracep exercises.

that's why the chick from BritishRail doesn't show her legs!

Keeping your mobile phone in your trouser pockets is known to cause thigh tumors.

Alessandro Machi said...

wait a minute, the right side is the spine, and the left side is the legs. It looks like the person posed in the fetal position, and the back of their legs are pregnant with twins???

The Little Dust Princess said...

That's just mind boggling.

Christie said...

Wow. That's all I've got.

@waldobaby

If Oscar Wilde was right, I do so hope that you are keeping a diary . . .

Thorny Vine said...

Ummm, yeah... to put it simply, that's gross.

Melencolia said...

She's a eunuch with a twist.

Arno said...

No PSD. It's an alien. They all look like that.



wv: rednes (Umm, yeah...)

Hayden said...

It took my awhile to figure out just where these are on her body, almost looks as though they wrap around her knees.

Davidikus said...

It's not PsD, it's clearly a tumor. Benign, I hope!

Looks like the pic was originally cropped or ended just to the left of where the underwear material stops between the legs.

Then someone felt the urge to make the pic 20% bigger and sort of stretched whatever minimal information was there at the edge before doing a cleanup. You can see the leftmost 15% or so is very slightly darker; also there are repetition artefacts along the lines between the model's bottom leg and the bed linen, and also between her legs.

I imagine whoever did it was concentrating so hard on closeup work - the skin itself doesn't look too bad - and neglected to step back and observe the wider snake-swallowing-a-bear effect.

They're imported. I wonder from what planet?

Evonine said...

It's not just on the linked page. It is also on the front page in all its uncropped glory.

Not a PSD.

Women with Thunder Thighs need lingerie too.

Donna said...

I believe it was an abnormal refraction from the position of the wide angle lens based on the position of the model and the position of her wide angled bottom and wide angled thighs. I think the wide-ness is cause because she is hiding a wing that we cannot see because of a camping accident she had.

Or something like that.

doka said...

Let's ask Lisa about it!

Talksyic said...

Looks like the underwear falls below the butt and she has mutant knees or something.

ZaphodQB said...

"Do these boy shorts make my thighs look like they swallowed a basket ball?"
"No dear, your thighs look fabulous!"

Angela said...

Um. Well. Whoever cropped this photo secretly hates boy shorts and intentionally sabotaged the photo so that nobody would want to buy them? Is that what happened?

Theresa Cassiday said...

Too hilarious! Especially since the Panties landing page says, "The sexiest rear views." And ONLY the rear views!

Ron said...

There are women who are pear shaped, and then there are some that take after squash . . .

ewaffle said...

Wide angle lens.

REAL wide angle.

Insert name here said...

They already replaced this funny picture by the picture of a human. that doesn't explain why the product is called boy short.

Martin said...

HELP!!!

Invasion of the Killer Thighs!!!

VERY good post.
Now that the original is on the site, you can see how it happened.
The 'boy shorts' sit much higher on the waist, up on the lower back, than the PSper imagined such that there was still a fair bit of curvy bottom coming to a thinner (presumably) thigh below...which was not accounted for...

peterkelly said...

Looks like they visit your site!
The pic is now changed for a 'real' one!

I'm not sure, but I think there's something wrong with her belly

Miranda said...

oh my god!!!

PoCoLoco said...

The swelling on her thigh has gone down and the model is recovering nicely.

Maxx said...

Awesome!
I wonder if Lisa has legs now too..

ameboy2 said...

The "fixed" one is also really weird. It's a standing model (just those others on the side) rotated, and the linen photoshopped in.

"Guppy" Honaker said...

Oh yeah, pregnant legs - woof, what a turn on! Wish we could see her ankles! (grin>

She was once a model for Escher.

Jackrabbit said...

You know what it is, don't you?

I think the photo editor lost track of which way was "up" on the model. If you imagine that swelling is her backside, the picture gets, uh, interesting...

Poet said...

Haha they fixed it!!!

What? What?!

Pls don't photograph my girlfriend in this pose again.

Art director: I want her butt bigger.
Photoshop hack: (to self) Umm, I think the butt is on ... ummm ... (flips coin) This side!

Now this is what we call an "optical illusion"

If people can't tell which part of a woman's body they're looking at, something's wrong.
