Far be it for me to besmirch David Beckham‘s good name and the good name of his bulge which he is currently promoting in the name of Armani Underwear but the question has been asked and I feel there is evidence to be inspected and scrutinized to judge for ourselves … was David Beckham‘s package enhanced in those sexy new Armani Underwear ads? MSNBC by way of The Daily Mail suggests that a side-by-side comparison of Beckham‘s bulge back in 2006 with his bulge today, in 2008, shows a marked difference in … well, bulgeness … which leads some to believe there was manipulation of some sort done to Becks‘s bulge to make it seem more ample. Let’s take a look:

The latest Emporio Armani underwear ads show David Beckham in all his glory, but rumor has it the soccer star may have had some help filling out his tighty-whities. The “enhancement” buzz started shortly after a 100-foot tall image of David wearing the famous undies made its debut at Macy’s in San Francisco earlier this week, and some found David’s form too good to be true. That’s when sleuths at the Daily Mail uncovered a photo of Becks on the beach sporting a similar look. The surfside shot, taken in 2006, features the L.A. Galaxy player in a white bikini with one notable difference from the Armani pics — the fabric appears less, um, inflated. The paper offered a side-by-side comparison and speculated that the difference could be the result of digital manipulation, but a spokesperson for David denies the claim. “There wasn’t any enhancement to that said region,” the rep insisted.

Interesting … back in 2006, David Beckham famously donned a pair of white Speedos while chilling on Roberto Cavalli‘s private yacht as he vacationed on the Italian Coast. While he looks pretty damn amazing in those little white shorts, his bulge is noticeably smaller than the one we see today. HMM. What could possibly be the cause? If only there was another photo of Becks‘s bulge to compare these pics with …

… like the pic of Becks going for a swim in Spain last summer. In the pics published on the cover and in the pages of the Spanish magazine Cuore, Becks did have himself a noticeably larger bulge which more closely resembles the bulge in the Armani Underwear ads:

But, and I’m playing Devil’s Advocate here, if you consider that the Spanish photos last summer came out right around the time that news came out that Becks would be modeling Armani Underwear … well, maybe they were just making sure that everyone got a taste of the enhanced bulge that was soon to be released on billboards and in magazines all over the world. Again, I say HMMM. In the end, we have no idea if Becks‘s bulge was manipulated or enhanced in any way (and of course the spokespeople are going to deny any manipulation of the size of his manhood) … the only way for us to be sure what he’s packin’ in those tiny shorts would be to see him without those tiny shorts. I think that would be best for everyone … Becks could uphold his honor and we could finally see what all the fuss is about. Yes, I really like that course of action. Let’s put all the rumor and conjecture to rest and see what Becks is hiding in there ;) Who’s with me?
