MAGNETIC UNDERWEAR `ATTRACTS' HEMORRHOID SUFFERERS

SALINA, Kan. (Wireless Flash) -- A new style of underwear which contains tiny magnets embedded in the seat may help reduce hemorrhoid and prostate problems. The so-called "Magnetic Sport Shorts" contain six magnets -- three for each cheek. Wearing the black and white bicycle-style undies supposedly can help shrink hemorrhoids and improve the health of a man's prostate. A spokesman for the manufacturer also claims some male customers swear the magnetic underwear increases sex drive. Although the undies may relieve pains in your posterior, they're a real pain to your pocketbook: each pair sells for a $60. That may be a bargain though, since the magnetic undies can also double as a novelty refrigerator magnet.
