The Speedo Menace
Posted by Terrance Mann

Speedo swimwear is reaching epidemic proportions across the beaches of Thailand. Surely everyone has at one point witnessed European men prancing down the beach sporting these formfitting nuthuggers. Europeans are the biggest offenders, though it seems their fat North American comrades are jumping on the speedo-train at alarming rates.
Are these chaps unaware that speedos aren't considered casual wear? As a general rule of thumb you should be under 80 or 90 kilos when wearing speedos. I understand that many of the speedo-offenders are the ones that come here seeking misadventure with ladyboys and are likely prone to wearing nuthuggers around the house and to business functions. However, let's leave speedo-wearing to competitive swimmers, or at the very least, behind closed doors.
Thus, my proposed legislation for Thailand:
Article 56. Section C-1:
-Speedos are banned in all public areas unless worn in a competitive swimming event
-All fat Europeans and similar travelers black-flagged by the Thai Customs visitor database will have their bags searched upon arrival at the airport for evidence of speedos or speedo knock-off products
-Any contraband will be confiscated immediately and offenders will be refused entry into Thailand
-Signs will be posted on all beaches warning of the repercussions of wearing speedos and Speedo Patrol Officers will work around the clock to keep our beaches free from the lewd and perverse savages who fail to abide and comply with the Speedo Laws
If you want to wear speedos, go back to the Mediterranean or to wherever they condone such sick and twisted behavior. Let's keep Thailand's beaches clean and speedo-free!
However, wife-beater shirts and mullets are highly encouraged (for entertainment value of course).

Hilarious!
Also topless Eurogirls are of course encouraged as well :)

Topless Eurogirls indeed, however, age restrictions may apply.

I go nowhere without my speedo man.
Not that I have the body to show off or anything, but I often think of the old saying - Jealousy makes you nasty.... - maybe those who can't wear speedo's will support this ridiculousness. There are many many things illegal in Thailand, yet, they still happen.
ONE can ONLY compete in a SPEEDO.... PLEASE! You can also say, prostitution is illegal, unless its to make money to send home to pay off a debt. Be Consistant....
Bottom line - why should I sacrifice my speedo, just because you don't fit into one.

Can't dare to part with your nuthuggers eh? Its not about legality my morally challenged friend, its about common decency. If you want to flaunt your package around town, thats your perogative...but when this legislation goes through, you best be hiding when the Speedo Patrol is on the case...
Posted by Terrance Mann on January 17, 2005 02:45 PM
I fail to see anything moral on the beaches of Thailand anyway.
One of the seven deadly sins is obesity. I can't help the fact that these mortal sinners get so fat that they can't fit into a speedo.
Walking on a beach somewhere in Thailand - or anywhere - in my costume won't cost me my salvation.
So, my intellectually challenged friend, morallity has nothing to do with what you wear, as such, but how a person would conduct himself in this particular
dress. Bar girls wear lengere, so what, its not the dress that is frowned upon. Their actions in this dress is suggestive and seductive, and thats what makes it immoral.
So next time when I am in my speedo on the beach pole dancing, I'll be happy to be reminded of my immorality and accept my fate when I get arrested by speedo patrol.

My grammatically-challenged friend, it seems I have touched a nerve. Its interesting you bring the 7 deadly sins into play here. Your old world values are shining through. Surely you must be aware, as a self-proclaimed nuthugger enthusiast, that you are too breaking a few of those aforementioned sins.
Pride: defined by Dante as, "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor"
The speedo sinner does indeed possess a self-perverted contempt for his neighbor - little Johnny building a sand castle peacefully unaware of the middle-aged speedo-clad Mediterranean about to cross his line of sight, as all his future visits to the beach will not be associated with past moments of sand-castle building bliss; but tainted by his memory of that day when he saw that pasty-white, handle-bar moustached, imitation 70s porn star, prancing along the beach with his unit proudly protruding for all to see
Lust: your lust for the molded warmth of taut spandex across your loins may be insatiable, but with the right help - supressable
Seek your salvation before the Speedo Patrol is assembled...or face the wrath of the politically correct...or more importantly, think of poor little Johnny.

Not to mention Sloth: fat asses are normaly too lazy to burn a few calories and to loose a few stone... hence, and yet again, not able to fit into a speedo.
I might be grammatically challenged, its totally understandable as I am not English... however, my calory dependent friend, gluttony is also somewhere in there.
By the way, why so concerned about Johnny and his sand castle? Kids are not as judgemental as adults, hopefully most kids are just kids, unless spoilt and corrupted by over eager and judgemental parents and teachers.
Again, those who are, are the ones who normally turn out to be weird.
So Johnny, in all innocence just want to play. He, hopefully, couldn't give a continental cookie about my member.
Sad how many people these days corrupt their children, not by TV or video games, but by taking the innocence they deserve away by making their minds up for them.
What kind of next generation free thinkers will we sit with?
Give the kids a break, let them make up their own minds in their own time, some might end up on the speedo patrol, but some might just be on the other side of the fence.

How did we miss Greed?
Greed: Covetousness is the desire for spandex-material wealth, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. When a speedo-freak is locked into a serious spandex addiction, he fails to recognize the cardinal sin he's commiting: Thou shall not wear nuthuggers in public.
The punishment for caving into Greed according to the great wisdom of our religious forefathers: eternal damnation in hell, boiling alive in oil till the end of time. Not too big of a stretch for you Euro-speedo types, as the majority of your free-time is spent lathering yourselves up in suntan oil and baking yourselves hideously in the tropical sun.
Posted by Terrance Mann on January 17, 2005 11:57 PM
I sometimes wonder if underwear or swimming gear ever was a point of discussion when these wonderful and wise forefathers debated everything they could sitting under a olive tree philosophying all day long. It couldn't have been, you see, they never wore any.
Sin must have been a far greater topic of discussion, trying to comprehend how terrible it must be to burn for eternity.
So, considering my destiny as a sinner, unable to change my human vices, including wearing my speedo, I say, in the words of Jesus Christ himself to those who wanted to stone Mary Magdeline to death because she was considered a Bar Girl,
"Let him without sin cast the first stone".
Speedo patrol are all competative swimmers.

Very well put cornel...
Feel free to post your speedo pics for us to admire. ;)
Posted by Lance Powers on January 18, 2005 02:45 AM
Thanks dude, at least there are other people here with some common sense.
Posted by cornel on January 18, 2005 07:47 PM
Does that mean we have to see this fiend sporting his luminous speedos? I'll go get the stones.
From speedos to biblical references....I guess I can see the correlation...
Posted by Terrance Mann on January 18, 2005 08:30 PM
The answer is simple. Simply shoot anyone that wears them.
Posted by Allan on January 19, 2005 12:53 AM
Hey Allan,
who died and made you Captain Speedo Patrol man?
You see, anti-speedophilia stems from 1 of 2 possible reasons.
1) You are a FA. (Fat Ass)
2) You suffer from SD-itis (Small Dick-itis)
Now, don't worry... both are easily treatable, you must just not go into any from of denial.
If you want I can arrange a meeting for you at the OA, (Obese Anonymous), plastic surgery or a Swedish Penis Pump is also an option.
you see, you can get over your little hang-ups man, and maybe one day, I will go shopping with you to buy you your very own SPEEDO!!
DONT BE SO SPEEDO-PHOBIC!!!!
Posted by cornel on January 19, 2005 04:30 PM
Nice one Lance. Glad to see my Samet story was an inspiration for somebody.
All I can say to anybody who opposes the anti-Speedo lobby that has already developed great power in the USA (see the upcoming million man march against the wearing of Speedos) is to try spending a few days on the beach at Samet's Wong Duan bay while three coachloads of Russians are in attendance.
For anybody with the common sense and decency to support this drive to rid our society of the awful pox that be Speedo, why not start a local chapter of one of the following organisations?
Mothers Extremely Against Tawdry Speedos (MEATS)
Christian Organisation to Chase Kids away from Speedos (COCKS)
Speedos Pose A Menace (SPAM) and its umbrella factions,
Speedo Porkers Are Menacing (SPAM), Speedos Present A Minefield (SPAM), Speedo Prancers Are Muck (SPAM)....
Posted by Nick on January 20, 2005 01:02 PM
I see potential for those organisations. Keep up the good work man.

I lived in Germany for 3 years.....
This must be stopped.

I fear this will be a war for the ages. The Speedo's lasting grip on mankind is unescapable.
Posted by Terrance Mann on January 25, 2005 10:11 PM
REAL MEN WEAR SPEEDOS.
Posted by Uncle Fred on June 16, 2005 10:39 AM
Yeah, we noticed. The problem is REALly fat, hairy MEN WEAR SPEEDOS. And STOP SHOUTING.
Posted by Rick Salasar on June 17, 2005 02:38 PM
A little insecure about things? Although speedos don't look all too flattering on some people, it's their right. Who are you to judge whether someone is too "fat" and "old" to wear one?
Speedos are more comfortable to wear, they dry faster and you get a better tan.
Your speedophobia is remenissant of the typical American "our way is suprtior to your way" plilosophy.

The Speedo is a glaring symptom of the current sickness of mankind.
If you want to talk about rights, well, what if some dude strapped on a nazi outfit and started walking the streets of Israel? Sure, he has the right to do such things, but is it in good taste?
Common decency and respect for each other is not a common trait among mankind, and is entirely void among the speedo tribes of mostly mediteranean origin.
Respect thy neighbor: Say no to neoprene!

People that are anti speedo are the sick ones.. Probably grew up thinking male genitalia was naughty and dirty and shouldn't be touched or spoken about.
Posted by Justwilliam on September 28, 2006 09:16 AM
Just come to the UK or europe. We’re not hung up on the speedo issue. We all wear them (or a majority anyway). I’m 53, fir, healthy and I’ve been wearing them since I was .. 3 perhaps. There’s nothing wrong with speedos and when I come back off holiday (vacation) i have a nice sexy little white untanned bit. Wife thinks it’s very cute. I can’t imagine what a guy looks like that’s been suntanning in horrible baggy, kneelength shorts - YUK!
Come on, get real … or is this a trend started by small-dicked Americans I wonder?
Posted by Mick on March 9, 2007 05:06 PM
In my experience all Americans are prudish and have small penises; probably because they're ring-barked to deter them from masturbating (yucky, yucky - but did it work?) There's nothing worn in my speedos. You may well smuggle budgies. I couldn't possibly comment. I, however, smuggle emus.

I am a competitive swimmer and have earned the right to wear the Speedo by busting my ass to get in the best shape of my life. These fat bastards and guys with the old balls who strute around the beach thinking that they are all that bring shame and disgrace to the Speedo. The maddness must be stopped! Only those who who truely belong in the water should have the previlage to wear the most holy of clothing articles!
Posted by Surferdude on April 23, 2007 10:41 AM
Terrance Mann, you should know that speedos are less and less popular. Here in France, 99% of young people wear baggy shorts. A few decades ago, speedos were the norm for everybody, even in the USA. And nobody cared. You wouldn't have cared neither. Nowadays, our society teaches you to hate speedos, and you just obey, but you think that it is your own taste.
It is interesting to note that our society teaches you to love women in revealing swimsuits, too. Why should men and women behave differently ?
When nobody cared, you were free to swim or tan without feeling like you have forgotten to remove your pants. At that time, people used to dress according to the situation. Now you're told by the TV that you have to be sexy everywhere. No, there is no need to care about what you look like on the beach. You're not in town, you're not at the restaurant, at the opera, etc.
Look at the last James Bond movie, in which you can see James Bond wearing a speedo. Imagine that he'd wear a baggy short. A classy guy acting like the average teenager, it would be ridiculous. Just as if he would wear flip-flops in town. You know, many of today's practices are considered ridiculous by people who really know about how to dress properly.
You really make a big deal out of nothing. Let's hope that speedos will be back for everybody in the future, because I'm tired of feeling obliged to swim with pants-like swimsuits.

Why are men told not to wear a speedo and women are told they can wear what ever they want to. I have woren a speedo in High School, College and beyond. Know at 30 years old I still look great in one. People need to mind their own business. I do not see people complaning about women wearing thongs. I do not think anyone should(man or woman)wear a thong and women should not go topless on the beach either!!!!
Posted by Sean on September 4, 2007 07:31 AM
I think you terrance have a serious problem, fighting speedos? where is this beach so full of men wearing speedos that is disturbing you, the most you see is one guy wearing a speedo out of a hundred wearing boxers, if one in a hundred is so disturbing to you is because you need professional help, get it fast , have consideration to the rest of us normal people, you are seriously disturbed, and this is what you do all day? you consider yourself a normal person? remember a lot of people consider asians also disgusting check the www.stormfront.org
so a lot of people hate something and everyone has the right to fight for what they want so I guess is ok for them to shoot you

Speedo should be outlawed in Thailand but prostitution is quite rampant.
How about this, men AND women should all wear what they were wearing in the 1900s to the beach.
There, that is decency for you!
And speedos are casual wear, ON THE BEACH. THat is what they are for.
You obviously cannot fit in one, or a blatant homophobe....to such an extend that you cannot even bear to see a half-naked man without thinking that is gay.
So pathetic.
Posted by KL on October 6, 2007 06:11 PM
I wear them, they make me feel, sexier, I'm 22 and get checked out left right and center in them, if you got it flaunt it. You feel free, get a great tan are as close to naked in public without being arrested.
No fatties however, I agree, if you are an ugly shape, please cover it, actually, keep off the beach.

The real reason most guys in the states will not wear speedos is because they do not want to be perceived as gay. I am a 50 yr. old guy, (look 35) in great shape, but notice a real look of disgust from some people, when I am at the pool or beach in my speedo. I don't get it,I have to look at some women in their tight suits with big fat asses, and they look down on me? Speedos are practical in the water,quick drying and give a great tan line. I don't get it,I am a male and yes I do have a bulge when wearing one, what is the big deal?
