An Open Letter to Conan O’Brien: Strip for Us

Monday, February 1st, 2010

We are extending an offer to Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter to be the new faces (and bodies) of Freshpair. We see role models in the making (and in their underwear).

Dear Conan,

We would like to half-take you up on your offer to do nudity. We are excited to offer you the opportunity to be the new face of men’s underwear. Freshpair.com, an online retailer of brand name Men’s and Women’s underwear and Founder of National Underwear Day, is looking for new models and we feel that you are just the man we are looking for. This offer is for both you and Andy; we certainly do not want Andy to feel left out! We know you like to take care of your staff and we welcome any members of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien family to join in and strip down.

You may ask yourself, “why us?”. Andy and Conan, you represent what typical, healthy individuals should and do look like. We doubt that all of our customers resemble our models. In fact, we would be surprised if more than a few did. We are serious about promoting diversity and fostering healthy body-image. As a team, you more than adequately represent two of our largest men’s categories: Big & Tall (you can discuss amongst yourselves who qualifies for each moniker).

Also, to be honest, another reason is financial. Our current models, in all their bronzed glory, can cost a pretty penny once you account for all of the associated tanning beds, lamps, cancer treatments, and oils associated with maintaining this look. A pale model would be a force to contend with in the underwear model industry. The camera flashes would transform you into a beacon, a lighthouse for other ordinary people.

This offer is part-time for you both. We know that you have been flooded with offers and we are more than willing to work around your other commitments. In fact, you would be free to set your own hours. We can offer free underwear as compensation.

We are sure that you will enjoy this experience to explore your artistic abilities in a new medium – and uniform. You made the transition from writer to host with great success; you will surely be able to make underwear modeling work for you as well. After your experiences at the Finnish underwear exhibit, you must have been intrigued about all the world of underwear had to offer.

We hope that you seriously consider our offer. If you accept, we are sure that in the year 3000, all underwear models will be selected for their pallor.

Sincerely,

Michael Kleinmann
President
Freshpair

Conan, strip for us

Wronged By A Thong

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Just when I thought people couldn’t be any more ridiculous, some incredible genius out there sets out to prove me wrong. And oh, how wrong I was proven when I heard about this story. There is a woman suing Victoria’s Secret because she said that a small piece of metal used to attach a charm to her thong flew off when she was putting the thong on, hitting her in the eye and causing permanent damage to her cornea. Ummm…what?? I looked up a picture of this renegade thong, and really, it’s all about common sense. It doesn’t seem likely to me that the metal piece securing the charm to the thong would break and fly off with enough force to cause damage to an eye unless the wearer of the thong was trying to pull it on when it did not fit, thereby breaking it. Skip the thong and dance, please.

And you thought the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Woman was stretching it.
