Hey Fatso: Buy your boxers at Wal-Mart in Shanghai

Underwear "for fat man" at Wal-Mart in Shanghai, ChinaUnderwear "for Fatso" at Wal-Mart in Shanghai, China

While shopping at Wal-Mart in Wujiaochang over the weekend, we spotted these pairs of XXXL men's underwear in not-so-PC packaging. The Chinese — 特大型 (tè dà xíng) — roughly translates to "giant-sized." But the English chosen is "FOR FAT MAN" and, our favorite, "for Fatso." There is small print on the Fatso brand that reads, "the specialized design will comfot your body, fat ass." (OK, we added those last to words ourselves.)
