Who Wears Short Shorts?

Kiwi men do! I have never seen so many upper (and inner) thighs of men as I have here in New Zealand. Apparently these incredibly short shorts are called 'stubbies' and have been around for a while. Think 1970s corduroy OPs or UPS Man, and then go shorter. Kiwi men who wear short shorts include the mail carrier, road workers, truck drivers, farmers, construction workers and rugby players. At least, as athletes, the rugby players usually have shapely legs, but still...

This You Tube video showcases 'stubbies' in an add for L&P, a popular soft-drink here in New Zealand:
