Here’s a gusset, for everyone who doesn't know:
Reading his complaint, we find ourselves totally lost. Is underwear supposed to be supportive? Our genitals do a pretty good job of staying up all by themselves. We thought underwear was meant to be confining, so the world would be spared the sight of your occasional, um, excitement. Plus, it’s there to keep your pants clean.
Also, we wonder why the Brit newsman went public with his problem. I mean, you'll never hear Katie Couric complain that all these newfangled Maidenforms just can't keep her hooters up. Is he really that concerned, or is it just his way of bragging to the world that he’s big downstairs? Because from the way it’s phrased, he just sounds excessively hangy.
Naturally a British tabloid jumped on the story, testing the knickers with bowling balls, sausages and assorted fruit. Their conclusion? Well, there isn’t one, really. They just have fun putting weird stuff into underwear. For instance, did you know you can fit a couple tangerines comfortably into a pair of Calvin Klein briefs?
Make that a rhetorical question. And pass me the brussel sprouts.

In answer to all the fuss caused by Jeremy Paxman's comments to M&S's Stuart Rose concerning his gusset anxiety around the lack of support and quality of their underwear and the job that they do for him, I would like to make the point that you generally get what you pay for in this world. This has always been the case and remains one of lifes golden rules. If you pay peanuts then... etc.
I, as joint owner of Sunspel, would challenge anyone to trial a pair of our underwear and not agree that they have recieved the most comfortable underwear you can get. We have been making underwear in Long Eaton, Derbyshire for the last 150 years and therefore know a thing or two about it. We have made it for all sorts including Johnny Depp, Liam Gallagher, Anthony Hopkins, Daniel Craig as James Bond, Levis 501's Nick Kamen, even Cyril Smith and Prince Charles.
It is not a simple thing to get right, however years of experience gives our designers a unique, almost boffin-like insight into the essentials of fit and fabric quality. Sunspel's unique fabrics have been created for softness, lightness and strength - all 100% long staple Egyptian cotton.
To back up this claim if you follow the link http://www.sunspel.com and use the voucher code paxo-challenge, we will offer you a 50% discount on any of the underwear or t-shirts we sell, including all those made for Casino Royale - try it out and see for yourself what Paxo is missing.
Hey, thanks for that, Dominic! Ordinarily I don't like advertising, but your knickers look like quality stuff. Plus, you write very well, though I thought a boffin was a monochromatic sea bird. And judging from the photos, your models certainly do have extraordinary gussets.
One extraordinary gusset
