Ever wanted to dump a mountain of used underwear outside the White House? Thanks to Adland for alerting us to this Bjorn Borg video of the folks at BB doing just that. Find out more - and vote for the next warmonger you think deserves a delivery - here. The sales bit: Bjorn Borg men's underwear here; women's here.
Thanks to Style Dash for drawing our attention to a scary new trend: girdles - ie control pants - for men. Well if women can slip on a pair of shaping knickers instead of putting in the hours at the gym then it's fair enough for men to do the same - but I can't say the thought is very appealing. In the meantime, he can always borrow your Spanx...

Could this be the Daniel Craig moment of 2008? Click here to see Justin Timberlake in the trailer for The Love Guru - that's him about two minutes in wearing little more than his budgie smugglers and some amusing facial hair.
Simon writes: So it appears that Richard Madeley is no longer a fan of underwear and "goes commando" as regularly as Ross Kemp in Afghanistan. Apparently briefs make him "incredibly hot" around the pants region. Never mind that Richard - just imagine what effect you are having on the temperature of the nation's housewives with that revelation?!
Preferring the "the freedom and feel of air" there are number of suggestions we can make to Mr Madeley - our buyers recommend a pair of Canterbury Coolers which while providing a snug fit also have an open fly to let the air circulate. Me? I'd suggest going for a loose fitting boxer short from Fruit of the Loom.
But not wearing pants at all? That's not an option. I mean, we saw what happened to Judy when she popped out - let's save the nation from the male equivalent...
We are, of course, far too classy to criticise another retailer's wares but just in case you missed it, here's the link to the Paxo story in today's Times - he is most concerned that a certain high street giant's underwear no longer provides "adequate support" and has sent an email to the chief executive expressing his displeasure. What to do? Figleaves.com menswear buyer Sarah Dolan-Abrahams has a few suggestions: l-r below, Canterbury Ball Control brief, £20, Calvin Klein Steel trunk, £20, and Jockey's 3D Innovations seamless waistband trunk, £10, all of which should keep your package in place. Also recommended: briefs by Emporio Armani and Pringle's classic boxer.
