Simon Doonan Wants to Rid the World of Man Boobs: VIDEO
Barney's Creative Director and author Simon Doonan appeared on Conan last night to push his one-man campaign to rid the world of man boobs.
Said Doonan:
"There's a horrible epidemic of man boobs, and I keep telling — people are clutching their man boobs now, I can see it....There aren't fetish clubs for people who like man boobs. Man boobs are like hyenas, and mosquitoes, and red ants, and sharks. They don't need to exist. They're horrible. So I'm on a one-man campaign to rid the world of man boobs ... A lot of straight dudes, they don't really care, they're, like, farting and watching TV, they don't care about their man boobs. We need to make them care and explain to them, these, girls, right, they are unacceptable, am I right?"
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

Man boobs are real, and they're spectacular.

Hyenas, Mosquitoes, Ants and Sharks? He lost me right off the bat, as a Gay Zoologist...

Yes, Simon, those aging men with the manboobs are often caring for elderly relatives, volunteering, or are just plain hard working folks who don't have time for the gym. Please go back to your pretentious store -- that barely makes money, owned by a homophobic Dubai-based equity firm, and STFU.

Great. As a former gym bunny and now aging gay man I have enough body-issues. Now I have another reason to hate myself. Thanks Simon.

He is just such an uptight bitchy queen he really makes us all look bad. So very annoying and i dont think his body is in top shape (skinny, sunken chest with no ass - ick!)

you know, I wasn't really planning on sleeping with Simon Doonan anytime soon anyway.
and really, it doesn't matter if there aren't any fetish groups or any men who are into man-boobs.
I like my body, tits and all, and that should be enough.

What Simon doesn't realize is that he was on the show AS the joke and not in on it, or telling the joke. But if he can justify having no dignity by cashing checks go for it girl but you get no respect from me.
And really, saying that hyenas, red ants, mosquitoes and sharks are horrible and have no need to exist? What about puffy bouffant hair-dos on aging queens who wear pocket squares?

@Paul - The only thing that prevents me from being a puffy bouffant hair-do aging queen is that I lost my hair. LOL. May I still wear my pocket squares? :-)
