If some of you recall, I posted a set of pix of Ricky Nelson in a Hardy Boys episode, showing a very pronounced crotch bulge. Yes, it WAS normal back then. People did not think it strange. Look at the early episodes of 21 Jump Street too. Johnny Depp has a very large crotch bulge in the entire first season. It seems to me that it wasn't until the late 80s, early 90s that noticeable crotch bulges disappeared. And not just from TV. I don't see young guys today sporting the same kind of bulges we did when I was younger. It's the cut of jeans and the new prudery when it comes to dicks. It's like showing a bulge makes you gay or something. Pretty ridiculous. BTW, I was watching TCM the other night and there was a movie called Up the River (LOL) starring Humphrey Bogart and Spencer Tracy. But it is the young star Warren Hymer who caught my eye. He was sporting the world's largest bulge and he had it throughout the movie. It's not as if the director couldn't have seen it. But back then it was NORMAL and no one thought to censor such things. The world HAS changed and not for the better.
Up the River will be shown tonite on TCM at 9:00 CST. Can't wait to see that big bulge of Warren Hymer.
