Fashion faux pas

One of the most disturbing things we saw on our trip is what appears to be the latest in beach fashion for men: shorts that are somewhere between Speedos and bicycle shorts (as tight as both, but more like the size of boxer briefs). Maybe these are catching on in the States and I'm behind the times, but I can't help but think this is a Euro and/or Asian trend since the Speedo banana hammock trend never really took hold (so to speak) back home. Gretchen pointed out that these shorts were actually more revealing than Speedos for reasons I can't put on a family-oriented blog--not that she was looking or anything. Thankfully, no picture accompanies this post.
