Thursday link dump
* Why do jeans makers put sizes on men’s jeans on the label outside? I don’t get it. Are we supposed to be proud of our sizes? Or are we supposed to be aloof enough and “manly” enough that we just don’t care if the rest of the world knows or not?
* ROCKSTAR: INXS’ Jordis Unga is signed to Epic Records and will release her first album in the spring. Rumor is that the show’s “House Band” will be backing her up. (Thanks, Rob.)
* Optical illusion. I might have linked to this before, but it’s still pretty cool.
* Muppet Reality Show. I might need to blog this one religiously. No mention on the revived “The Muppet Show” they were supposed to be doing for FOX next fall, though.
* The Shat had a kidney stone. He showed Regis. Further proof that The Shat is The Man.
* More new “Whose Line” episodes in November.
* Homer Simpson: Man of the Decade.

Wearing that size tag on the inside of your jeans would surely do something irritable.

Uh, besides LUCKY BRAND jeans, I’ve noticed that most of the jeans makers (Mavi, 7even, Damage, Ben Sherman, Diesel, etc) keep the sizes inside and generally don’t list an inseam length, which I suspect would be a pain for you, since you’re likely a 34″ inseam. So which jeans are you talking about?

Yup, I’m a 34 length. 32 works until I sit down and they pull up way too far.
I’m not sure which jeans I’m thinking of — I just noticed it at bowling the other day. I think Levis still does it. Maybe it’s just a couple of them, but it still baffles me.
