Speedos down and out in UK (8/14/09)

I've had an unusually busy week. my loveys, and I was afraid I would have nothing to give you today! But the Brits never disappoint. The big news? Alton Towers Resort, the UK's biggest theme park, has banned Speedos "on the ground of public decency."

Hahahahahahaha!


As you can see from this charming photo of Justin Timberlake wearing itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikini bottoms, such a ban is obviously a tragedy.

The Times felt the need to contact the embassies of other European nations to ascertain their countries' Speedo-related sentiments. Best bit:

"Jean-Claude Tribolet, a spokesman for the French Embassy, said that Speedos were still de rigueur at many French pools though he refused to disclose whether he owned a pair. 'I’m a diplomat,' he said, indignantly."

Let the bikini wars begin.
