Westerners catch a lot of flack for being fat and lazy, but at least we're employing millions of people in a worldwide industry of schlocky products designed to help fat slobs lose weight without any actual effort. Next month Selfridges, an upmarket department store in England, is launching the the Equmen Core Precision Undershirts, aka Spanx for men.

The undergarment promises to suck in your fat gut, pump up your flabby chest and tone your mushy arms. The real question is, do the fat lazy men who need these magic underwear care enough about their revolting appearance to buy them. Well, DO you?
