Who likes short shorts?
Okay, I'm feeling a need to lighten the mood around here, so let's get juvenile.
The phrase “in my pants” is a common meme-theme. You’ve probably seen it: “add the phrase “in my pants” to the first seven songs you hear on your Ipod”, add “in my pants” to your favourite movie quotes. But why try and spice up things that are already (in the scheme of things) quite poetic?
WHERE IS THE CHALLENGE IN THAT?
After attending a function a few years ago, it became completely evident to Indeed and I that a much more amusing application for the phrase “in my pants” was….
….government policy slogans.
So. Much. Funnier.
And also, so much filthier. Honestly, it's really about time the "in my pants" test was applied to more slogans, and then you wouldn't end up with clangers like the ones below.
So here are my favourite top five “in my pants” policy moments
1. Make it happen in my pants
2. New leadership in my pants
3. Know where you stand (in my pants)
4. To violence against women, Australia says no(t) in my pants*
5. Check your hotspots in my pants
Believe me, this is a game you can play well into the wee hours of the morning (or at least until your mobile runs out of batteries and you have lost your voice from laughing while your sister who is driving you home looks at you in grave askance).
* For maximum effect, this policy slogan should be read with hands on hips, and the following emphasis: "not in MY pants!"

You're right, this game is awesome.
Allow me to add:
Keeping interest rates low in my pants
The answer is Liberal in my pants
Opportunity for all in my pants
and
Don’t risk Rudd in my pants
etc, etc
I also tried it with the top 25 most played songs on my ipod. These would include "Africa in my pants", "All for believing in my pants", "Lighthouse in my pants" and, my personal favourite so far, "And we danced in my pants"
This will be great for my next long drive on a family holiday.
I love this, it cracks me up :)
I've been listening to heaps of Crowded House lately and these are the in my pants results;
Don't dream it's over in my pants
When you come in my pants
Something so strong in my pants
Four seasons in one day in my pants (eww)
Something so strong in my pants
It's only natural in my pants
Pineapple head in my pants
and my personal favourite
Everything is good for you in my pants
*giggle*
INCraig,
I'm quite the fan of opportunity for all.
But I also like
Safeguarding Australia's Future in my pants
and
Quarantine matters in my pants
and
Think climate change in my pants.
hours of entertainment. Possibly days.
:)
that's quite the forensic approach you're taking there.
What about 'Social Inclusion In My Pants'?
The other upside of having government policy 'in your pants' is the possiblity of having Lateline's Tony Jones in your pants commenting on it.
This.Is.Fucking.Brilliant. And hilarious - I nearly choked on my iced coffee.... love all the readers' suggestions as well.
Can you do it with inane advertising?
* Oh what a feeling in my pants (toyota)
* Climb every mountain in my pants (nab)
* For every woman you are in my pants (Aussie Womens Weekly)
* For extra confidence in my pants (some pad brand I've forgotten already)
* Because you're worth it in my pants (L'Oreal)
* Yes in your pants (optus)
Oh and the cheeky and gorgeous comedian Danny Bhoy suggests that you add 'arse' instead of 'heart' to any pop song you hear:
Joe Cocker - Unchain my arse
Tom Petty - Stop draggin' my arse around
Extreme - there's a hole in my arse than can only be filled by you....!
Oh now you've really set me off...!
Anon,
Chance would be a fine thing.
Kath,
Well, you will drink iced coffee.
I can't claim credit for the original idea, but I will claim it for application to government policy (in much the same way that Scrabulous claims credit for their oh-so-different wordgame on facebook).
Also, I'd like to add:
Cyndi Lauper: There's a hole in my arse that goes all the way to China
Faker: This Arse Attack
Rebecca's Empire: My arse sings (when the telephone rings)
etc.
HOURS UPON HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT.
I hope you're all happy now, etc.
I think there might some future proofing in my pants.
And we are moving forward in my pants.
Pressure on interest rates in my pants.
I'm aiming to ge tthe work life balance right in my pants.
And strangely it appears that there are working families in my pants! I wish they'd geet out, it's quite uncomfortable.
Dang! Leilani took mine! Hard to get that 'future proofing' out of my head since Hollowmen.
I suppose I could cheat and get rid of the 7: Kevin 0 in my pants!
