Not to harsh on that other brand but really, sometimes it's just too easy. I don't dislike Harleys, even, and if anyone wants to give me an Electra Glide Ultra Classic, I'll be happy to accept.

But it's becoming a symbol of something I believe it never intended.

To wit: I saw a commercial the other day (only saw it once, forget the brand) that had a bunch of middle-aged, Wild Hogs sorta guys riding Harleys to a picnic thing. You know, it was a typical setup - open roads, male bonding, a voiceover about bein' yourself an' bein' free an' independent an' whatnot. The kicker? At the end it showed a Man Diaper. I 'bout spit up my beer laughin'.

Wish I could remember what brand (it wasn't Depends). Personally, I thought it was brilliant, on several levels, and the firm that came up with it should be given an award immediately. But what does it say about the Harley crowd?

I am again struggling with our common language, in so far as I translate that to be a nappy that babies poop in but for a man, are you saying here that in the US men wear nappies? If so why, too lazy to go to the mens room, something really interesting on TV, please tell me you guys dont wear nappies!

Mostly they are for older persons that no longer have the ability to control themselves. They are also for people who have alzheimers or dementia and have forgotten how to go.

They could be useful on those Iron Butt rides.

Diapers with Harley logo's ? They have reached a new bottom. :-D

Just to add the serious note to this. One of my best friends was diagnosed with end stage prostate cancer a while back. Fortunately, he got on an experimental treatment program through the Cleveland Clinic, and has survived, now, 5 years. One of the consequences, however, is incontinence, and he wears a "man diaper". Personally, I'm glad he's still with us, and still doing major rides, and who gives a sh!t about the 'diapers'? To make fun of such, only reduces your own self.

Yeah, I ain't knockin' on the undergarment portion o' the equation. Some folks need 'em.

I just found it, uh, interesting that the company would choose a bunch of Harley riders to convey their message. I mean, what are they saying here? That Harley riders are old guys with health problems? That Harley guys are too dumb, or too hardcore, to stop for a wiz? That riding a Harley makes you incontinent?
