SOS- SUPPORT OUR SPEEDOS and WEAR YOUR SPEEDOS WITH PRIDE Fans of the eternally popular Speedo trunks have been left in deep water after bosses at the Alton Towers resort in the UK decided to ban them in a move reminiscent of Victorian times. Apparently, the sight of men in body-hugging trunks has upset certain sensitive souls and now any male visitor to the popular tourist resort has to discard their Speedos in favour of more 'modest' baggy shorts. With David Beckham, Prince William, Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Phelps amongst the most prominent wearers of swimming briefs, Speedo briefs in particular are the chosen swimwear of millions of men young and old all over the world and we believe that anyone who wants to wear their Speedos should be allowed to do so with pride and without fear of embarrassment. If you agree, please show your support for the SOS (Support our Speedos) campaign by signing below SUPPORT OUR SPEEDOS I believe in the right of any man to be allowed, without fear of retribution, to wear his Speedos with pride

Seeing this momentum grow is exhausting but it proves that people are tired of these restrictive policies. Your refusal to back down keeps me going when the silence from the resort feels especially heavy.

I wear them every time I swim laps. Baggy shorts create too much drag anyway. Let us wear our speedos!
