In response to Georgeoz: Before we go bashing America, lets think about this. Brief swimwear is no longer common in far more nations than America. Even Australia, the claimed mecca of swimwear freedom, is predominantly board shorts on guys. American fashion is as much dictated by other cultures as it is home grown. I am not just defendng America, I get offended when we segregate one nation or culture and bash it. I actually think that the problem with brief swimwear acceptance is as much an issue that many of the claimed "speedo lovers" haven't got the balls to actually wear them outside of their bedroom and when they do they have the misguided self perception that everyone is wathcing them, while most couldn't care less. I only wear brief swimwear wherever I wear a swimsuit. Always have. Maybe an occasional comment, but it has never, ever been an issue. In fact, the only place I was ever told to "put some clothes on" was in none other than Austarlia on a trip.
Lets talk about swimsuits and not false perceptions that insult an entire nation's people.
