Man boobs - now commonly knows as moobs - are a subject close to Guru's heart. Very close, in fact, bearing in mind Guru has his own set stuck firmly to his chest.
Yours Truly has blogged recently about stats showing 'moob jobs' have rocketed with men now far more body conscious and it being a problem society should take more seriously.
Now the BBC has run an online piece looking in more detail at the UK's moobs obsession, illustrated with pics of some lovely pairs. Perhaps the most saddest/humorous (delete as applicable) part of the article are the reader comments posted at the end.
Hugo from Cambridge suggests we should use the word 'dadderies' rather than moobs, with the obvious etymology.
James - somewhat appropriately from the Scilly Isles - complains that the BBC has put topless men on their website, but wouldn't do the same with women. "It's not fair," he moans.
Come on James, Guru knows of plently of other sites where you can view naked female flesh. Soft porn on BBC Online ain't likely to happen any time soon.
