In defense of Lululemon’s sheer yoga pants

This would never happen in Lululemon yoga pants. Jus' saying.

Things are not looking good for yoga pants manufacturer Lululemon. The company is now facing a combined lawsuit that accuses them of deliberately concealing that their women’s black yoga pants become nearly sheer when worn, due to the fibers being stretched by — as termed in yoga studios — dat ass.

Lululemon’s allegedly concealed the design flaw until they finally had to recall the pants and their CEO, Christine Day, resigned, triggering a sudden, unexpected 17.5 percent drop (valued at $1.62 billion) in their stock in a single day. This hit the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Pension & Relief Fund hard since they own about $1.3 million in Lululemon stock.

So, to help a Louisiana Sheriff retire, The Guys have volunteered to make sheer yoga pants a thing. Sure, it means showing your ass to the world, but isn’t it worth not stewing in your own farts?

It'd make his day if you'd just wear the shear yoga pants.

This post has been brought to you by letters outlawed in Turkey

Turkey is known as the one of the most westernized of Middle Eastern countries. That’s why it’s sort of surprising that they have a ban on certain letters of the alphabet.

It is been illegal to use the letters Q, W and X, but that all may change soon, as the Turkish prime minister has suggested the ban be dropped. Turns out, the ban was put in place because because the Turkish people really don’t like the Kurds, who use those letters a lot for their own language.

Also, they just wanted to make Scrabble a little easier.
