Dorkiest thing ever: wtfjeans (tag line: “wear them ftw”) are made special to hold your iPhone or iPod and even have a “hidden memory stick pocket.”

Even if the concept is kind of ridiculous (they probably will no longer be compatible with the latest Apple products after a year, tops), they don’t look bad, and their just-for-friends trial run has led to production of 1,000 pairs (due in September, and marketed, obviously, only online), so who am I too sniff at their “I’m a geek, you’re a geek” functional apparel? No one. But I would like to point out one unusual detail on the men’s jean, the “extra protection for boys” feature, which is explained like this: “No matter whether you wear the family jewels on the right like 90 percent of guys, or whether you’re a leftie — extra padding on both sides keeps them cozy.” (Is that true about the right hang?? And are your current jeans wanting in testicular coziness?)

  1. I never thought about which side they tend to go. Right now it is to the left. I am left handed, if that means anything, but I think it is just a coincidence. Does the hang follow the hand, or is each individual born right- or left-dicked, independent of their hands?

    The extra padding/coziness just sounds hot, sweaty, and unfriendly to sperm count. And my current jeans have pockets that are perfectly capable of holding my iThings.

    Marty: “It’s not hanging so much as scrunched up in my pants.”
    Me: “Thanks for that update.”
