Slog - Comments on Hard News http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/hard_news_1 Slog somehow missed this very important story: Shots of David Beckham in Armani tighty-whities--reproduced above for reference purposes only--sent sales of tighty-whities soaring in the UK. TWs are now outselling boxers in the UK by two-to-one. The ad also sparked some debate over whether Beckham stuffed his shorts for the photo shoot. In other Beckham news, he's proud to be a gay icon.

Lucky bitch.

It is routine in underwear photography. Not necessarily to make the models look like they have huge packages, but to round out the shape. To, in fact, make the package a uniform shapeless blob, and less obvious an outline of a cock head and distinct balls. They use a wide variety of tiny bits of foam, stuffed here and there around the model's tackle to give the package a plump but indistinct shape.

And yes, this image has been Photoshopped all to hell.

Still, Rowrrr!

and he's str8? I'd pay to see David Beckham do drag and see him walk into Pony, if it opens in a new location. I'm sure guys would start wanking out in the open.

I saw a segment on ProSieben (you have to understand German to follow the clip), where they compared a picture of him at a soccer game to this one you've posted. At the soccer game he had pulled his shorts up around his "unit" so that you got a good idea of the size. It definitely did not match this post. In fact, several fashion photographers were shown both pictures to comment on them, and they all agreed that there had been some "enhancement".
