Speedo Trunks Banned from Alton Towers

JupiterKid · 10-08-2009 05:20PM #1

It looks like PC prudery has reached a new low.

Speedo style swimming trunks worn by male swimmers at Alton Towers water park have been branded "indecent" by managment and have been banned. Only full "board shorts" will be deemed acceptable swimming attire from now on:

Thank god..
Budgie smugglers just look wrong.

They're still ok with thongs tho right?

What kind of a strange weird bastard goes about in public in speedos anyway?
I dont think it goes far enough. Burn em at the stake I say.

brummytom · 10-08-2009 05:25PM

Ah FFS it's stupid.
A.T should just close down, there's plenty better than it :P

Don't live far from Alton, Stayed at Alton Castle (a catholic retreat thingy) with school a few years ago.. the morons the Towers seems to attract, I'm surprised they can even put speedos on the right way!

Mossy Monk · 10-08-2009 05:27PM

Anyone who wears speedos in public should be banned from life in general. Creeps.

brummytom · 10-08-2009 05:28PM

Must clarify.. it's PC gone mad but speedos are bad bad things before anyone thinks I approve of them! :P

For once, they show up size (or lack of) and are uncomfortable... normal trunk/short things ftw

How do we get budgies out of Alton Towers then?

Johnny Utah · 10-08-2009 05:33PM

This is a clear case of gender discrimination. Surely if they want to bring in this sort of rule, then female swimwear should be treated in a similar manner. Madness!

are you crazy!

JupiterKid · 10-08-2009 05:34PM

Well, I think they should just go the whole hog and return to the days of Victorian full body "bathing suits."

Of course, I don't see women's bikinis being banned either, as ultra skimpy as some of them can be. Double standards anyone?:rolleyes:

So because we don't have to be subjected to skimpy male clothes we have to sacrifice skimpy wimmens clothes?!?!

No; it's double standards. Both genders should be treated equally- do you agree?

Jesus Juice · 10-08-2009 05:54PM

So you were too busy getting wet to notice the water?

The Walsho · 10-08-2009 05:57PM

There was a little part of me hoping that Speedo Trunks was just the name of a guy who'd been banned from Alton Towers. Alas, it wasn't to be.

netwhizkid · 10-08-2009 06:02PM

They key to getting women attracted to you is to put the two golden wonders spud down the front of the speedos not the back:pac:

AnonoBoy · 10-08-2009 06:03PM

F*ck's sake. Another holiday ruined. :mad:

I always wear Speedos.!!

They show off the cluster in full relief ,especially when wet, and I can assure you I got many admiring glances from females when my full ripe plums and thick stocky cucumber were etched in sharp relief as I exited the pool and gave the impression of potent pumping and full satisfaction.

Reverse that ban I say.

WindSock · 10-08-2009 06:18PM

Maybe the men wearing them were getting into too much trouble when the 'S' wore off.

I really hope they ban old hairy gorilla men in the swimming pool next.

Nearly everybody in the 80's must have been a sexual deviant so. I don't remember anybody wearing shorts when I was small, was all speedos. It is odd how things change like that and are so quickly forgotten. Like people calling people crazy not to wear a cyclehelmet even though they were out in the 80's too.

"We are also looking into offering complimentary male waxing, which will ensure preserve the dignity of all our guests."

So auld hags are still allowed go out in wicked weasel bikini bottoms with a muff like a wornout roadsweepers brush hanging out the sides.

It ain't all brazilian supermodels strutting around...

Like A Fox · 10-08-2009 06:45PM

In Port Aventura don't they insist guys wearing Speedos to limit the amount of flashing as they throw themselves arseways down waterslides?

Tar.Aldarion · 10-08-2009 07:00PM

Didn't men with long hair used to be refused from disney, as tehy were thought of to be dodgy bastards?

No, seeing as women aren't packing unattractive bulges in their pants
