I must agree with SwimTeamSpeedo - this crap about blaming America for the disappearance of Speedos in Australia, the UK, etc., is absurd. 98% of people from those countries have never even been here - are you telling me a few US-made TV shows and movies changed the dressing habits of your populations? If so, they must not have much willpower to preserve their own cultural identity! And the people on this board who lament about how "popular" Speedos were in the US back in the glorious 70s - bull! Just watch the 1975 movie "Jaws" - loads of beach scenes and not a Speedo anywhere (one square-cut was all I saw). Yeah, I know Christopher Atkins wore a Speedo on Dallas - but what was his role? A swim instructor for the kids! I wear Speedos at public pools and beaches in America, and don't give a damn what anyone says. I don't follow the crowd - I do my own thing. If guys in other countries are too timid to be themselves, I feel sorry for them.
