Bro, Manssiere, WonderBro

Hello Seinfeld lovers!

Now that the holidays are over, I'm back at it—blogging about the greatest show of all time. I hope you all had a very happy Festivus, but it's time to get down to some serious business...

Bro vs. Manssiere

In "The Doorman," episode 17 of the sixth season, Kramer invents a bra for men, which he calls the Bro. Frank Costanza takes an interest in the product, and the two of them form a partnership.

Their partnership is bumpy—Frank argues that the Manssiere is a better name for the product than the Bro. The whole project ends up in shambles before the Bro/Manssiere dispute gets resolved.

I'm going to side with Kramer on this one and say the Bro is a better name. It's simple, and I think it's a better play on words than the Manssiere.

Who are you with? Kramer or Frank?

There's a reason why I've brought up the Bro/Manssiere debate…

I'm taking a media production class for my communications program, and one of our assignments was to produce and infomercial for a product of our choice. My group happened to come up with a product similar to Kramer's Bro—the WonderBro.

While the Bro is intended for practical uses, the WonderBro is all for show. It's purpose isn't to support man boobs, but to mimic the appearance of large, muscular pectorals on men.

It could sell, couldn't it?
