    And when I wave my magic wand. Alakhazam they disappear!

  2. Simon says:

    It should be pointed out that the term ‘magical’ regularly preceeds items of clothing that are tightly packed into a small, regular bundle that when opened, become perfectly comfortable, normal sized clothes..

    Fail for the entry!

  3. Hebime says:

    This is true, but the complete phrase ‘Magical Woman Pants’ is indeed English Fail.
    A native speaker would have written ‘Magical Pants (Ladies)’ or something similar.)

    Magical Woman Pants? Magical Man Pants?
    Sound like they’d be a big hit at the transgender clinic

    • Darkailleam says:

      As a non native speaker I would wonder who is supposed to be magical? The woman or the pants?
      :-)
      So I judge it good Engrish.
      Does this sentence puzzle a native speaker too?

      • paws4thot says:

        I’d never have guessed you weren’t a native English speaker. As per my other comments, I’ve got more of a problem with the subtitle than the “Magical (Wo)man Pants” titles, because I’m not sure what they even meant.

    • paws4thot says:

      Pants specifically for characters in “magical girl” Anime shows?

    • Mark. Gooley says:

      Yes! Just put on the Magical Woman Pants and *poof* you’re a woman.

  4. dr handle says:

    Right, so can someone clarify: are these magical pants (to be worn by women or men) or non-magical pants to be worn by men/women who themselves are magical? What happens if a non-magical person tries to put on magical pants?
    Or is it some twist to come out of the latest Harry Potter film, which is reported to be less directly faithful to the text of the book as were the preceding films? “I say, Hermione, what are you doing? Hagrid warned you not to try to wear the Magical Man Pants.” “Shut up, Potter, you rat-faced pissant – oh yeah, from now on you can call me Herman, now pass me my Doc Martins, I have a date with Malfoy, although he doesn’t know it yet. He gets to be Mumsy, and I’m going to be Dadsy, heh heh, I love to hear that little sissy boy scream…”

  5. TheCannyScot says:

    Try, try, try to understand, he’s a magic man.

  6. Aaron Hong says:

    That letter that they’re on should get its own entry.

  7. KiKi says:

    this is pretty funny but u failed to point out the writing on the paper underneath…its 10 times funnier!!

  8. Personage says:

    Hold up…

    “If someone outside your window, please don’t worry”?!

    What am I supposed to do, fend them off with Magic Pants?!

    • JohnB says:

      I personally would never touch the Magical Man Pants, no matter who’s in them, so if you put them on, you’d be safe from me. If you’re wearing Magical Woman Pants, if you’re a man, I STILL wouldn’t touch you. If you’re a woman in those Magical Woman Pants, I’m still outta there, because I don’t hang around with women who turn tricks.

  9. D.R. says:

    Textily disinfect? I hope this involved washing them. I didn’t know text messages were necessary.

    • hollyr57 says:

      At first I thought it said “testily disinfect”. Eye slippage. I had an immediate image of a woman who’s had just about enough of disinfecting other peoples pants.

      • JohnB says:

        I thought at first you were making another reference to “testes,” which sounds to me like another use of a certain fluid. It would make disinfection fun! (But, after a while, no matter what you do for a living it becomes just another job…)

        • hollyr57 says:

          Oh, I don’t know – QA in an ice cream plant doesn’t sound like it would ever be just another job. Nor does a secret inspection career for a top line cruise company – one of those folks that pretend to be a customer and relay their findings on the ships amenities and service back to the cruise line.

    • Lunar™ says:

      Textile industry = clothes, D.R.

  10. ewwee says:

    I just realized that the pants are in the containers that are the size of the soda bottle caps. If you look closely, they have a plastic seal around them.

  11. JohnB says:

    In the days before the development of the germ theory of disease, disinfection would have indeed appeared magical!

  12. JohnB says:

    Disinfecting me softly with his song,
    Killing the germs with his voice…

  13. Me says:

    what about the person outside the window???

    • hollyr57 says:

      The less said about him (or her) the better. Obviously, no good can come of staring at this person. Just because he doesn’t carry any proof of identity, and doesn’t wear Magical Man (or Woman) pants, that’s no reason to fear him (or her).

  14. cobrasnakenecktie says:

    hmmm….if somebody is out the window don’t worry….HA….it’s just a hockey goalie with a chain saw….he must be here to wash the wall…no need to fret!

  15. Gorgon Medusa says:

    These badges are pants.

    • dr handle says:

      AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH! Dreadful Pun Hell fairy recognises your use of British vernacular to perpetrate punnage, and deems it clonkworthy! *clonk*

  16. OtterAbroad says:

    I reckon the ‘person outside the window’ has come to perve at the magical pants show inside!

  17. purdlemeow says:

    Wow. I want to stay in this hotel. Usually, the reason I’m in a hotel is because someone has promised me a “magic pants” experience….. *this* hotel actually provides one! No, TWO!!! Worth every penny, even if I do have to endure a stuffy room with voyeurs at the window. (I wonder how many floors this hotel has…. I think I’d worry if people were at my window on the 48th floor….)
