Do These Fit, Honey?

Not to be size-ist mean to people of size thoroughly entertained by enormous hipster underwear, but why American Apparel would even have these out on display is beyond me.

despite the looks of their models, i suppose they are an all encompassing company.

i guess...but you could wrap a small townhouse with those!

i guess you can't really tell how big they are in the photo.

That doesn't seem like too big a pair of underwear in the photo... maybe it's because of the normal-sized legs that almost look like they're sticking out the bottom.

I want to know what kind of guys are buying loose pairs of underwear, though, so I can avoid them. Certain things in this world are meant to be sold in packs of three.

obscene!
I do really like their normal-size hip huggy stuff. Fun colors too :)

so they were like clown pants? clown pants which happen to be the best pants homer has ever put on?

more like the moo-moo (how do you really spell that?) that he wore when he got too fat for the clown pants and got to work at home b/c he was on fat man disability.
