Butt Pads: How Big Booty Equals Big Business

In light of last week's news that big butts might boost your health and the near-idolatry of Gisele Gisele, Beyoncé, and Jessica Biel's best assets, it's no surprise that big booties have become big business. Enter butt pad purveyors like LoveMyBubbles.com andMyBootyPop.com.

Here's a before and after from MyBootyPop.com:

Huffington Post blogger Leslie Goldman decided to give one a whirl. Here's her before and after:

8:20am I run into the bedroom where Dan is still sleeping and start yelling and screaming for him to "look at my new butt!" He is very tired but musters the energy to prop himself up on one elbow (note: the fact that his wife is running around like a banshee, hollering about her butt at 8am, does not even cause him to blink an eye. He is quite used to such antics by this point.) "How lucky do you feel to have a wife that pulls stunts like this?!" I ask/demand. He firmly swats me in the ass to show his appreciation and we are both struck by the resounding, hollow "Thwuhp!" that fills the room; usually, such a move would emit a hard "Thwack!"

What do you think? Is this offensive or would you gladly wear one? Any other butt-enlarging techniques we've overlooked?

Everyone remember Sir Mix-A-Lot's "I Like Big Butts"

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung

As long as I don't have too buy the toilet paper it's fine with me.

Tries to have rhythm when they dance... tries to rap or speak slang, takes the influences of urban cities for fashion, tans to look darker, and now fake plump booties...but they don't like black people in America...this mess always leaves me rotflmao..

You forgot the "bee stung" lips ... They use to call our full lips ugly .... Things like "soup coolers" ... but it's nothing new .... Remember the afro-craze of the 70's???

I feel sorry for guys. By the time he gets to know the gal she turns out to be nothing like he thought.

Isn't that like entrapment or something? tehe

This has gone far enough!! As a life-long butt-man, I have heard funny stories of boob-men that have hooked up with a hottie with a great rack only to find Victorias Secret adding the greatness. I was smug in my attraction, knowing what you see is what you get. Now, women can pull a fast one on me. Good thing I'm married to a woman with a nice round bubble butt and am not in the market anymore. And for the posters using JLo as an example, think more Jessica Biel. JLo and Kim Kardassian do not have nice big butts, just big butts. A bubble is one that is round and high, not just round all over.

Man your wife must know your user name - JLo and Kim K are fine as wine with the hour glass shape- butt i understand we all have different taste

I realize that both men and women have their vanity problems but for chrissake, THIS is ridiculous. And since when do women suddenly feel the need to pretend they have giant butts???

I like a curvy woman as much as the next but I am not alone in thinking J-Lo's butt is unattractive in it's hugeness. Along with quite a few others as well.

So this sudden urge by women to make people think they big ol' butts is just beyond vanity, there is something else going on...oh yeah, women have always had self image issues and I guess it takes ads like the ones above for them to feel better about themselves???

Funny how anything resembling an actual butt used to be a criminal offense. Now they've found a way to make money off of it.

Enhances the meaning of "shake your money maker"

Yes, that back when the media was Homogenized - now it so much more diverse and that allows for all shapes and types to get some media cover - remember when TV commercials had all the actors looked alike now on some commercials you can 4 or 5 different nationality at the same time
