Wayne Rooney: The Thongs are Out

Well, that took longer than we thought.
The thong bikinis are finally out on Wayne Rooney’s four day Ibiza stag bender, and we’re not talking about the women.
For those not in the know, it’s a British custom for men on vacay, be it stag or otherwise, to bring some kind of novelty swimsuit along. Why? It’s as much the English way as burning your skin to a crispy lobster red, drinking 40 shots of rainbow coloured liquid from test tubes and waking up on a nightclub floor covered in cigarette ash. It’s not pretty, but it’s true.
Side note: we know it’s Friday and we’re feeling lazy and hungover, but take a look at the photo below. Is Wayne looking better these days? Is the telephoto lens being quite kind to him, or should we just go back to bed now?

For those not in the know, it??s a British custom for men on vacay, be it stag or otherwise, to bring some kind of novelty swimsuit along. Why? It??s as much the English way as burning your skin to a crispy lobster red, drinking 40 shots of rainbow coloured liquid from test tubes and waking up on a nightclub floor covered in cigarette ash. It??s not pretty, but it??s true. True… I KNOW IT IS SO SAD BUT TRUE… Santa Monica, CA home of the British vacationer and it makes me sad every time I see it
The sight of his pal’s hairy ass in a leopard thong is enough to put me off men forever.

I've never thought Wayne was ugly, just not particularly handsome. The new beard he's been sporting lately suits him. I kept catching shots of him during games and thinking…hmmm, maybe.
Eww.. Kickette, what are you on? He's still as fugly as ever, its just the cap is hiding half his head, so there's slightly less fugly to see. Ewww…again.

My eyes are burning now, thank you very much. And well, I say go back to bed – it's still Wayne freaking Rooney and even the kindest of photographers cannot change it. That Coleen is such a brave woman.
I literally went “Eeeeeeeeew!” out loud like a little girl. Lol.
Oh dear lord have mercy on us all! Who let the Rooney family out of the zoo?!

I think it’s back to bed for you Kickette, you’re clearly still w***ered!
He is out!
I’m on a computer with Safari right now so I can’t read any of the other comments, but after I sign out of this web browser, I’m going to go vomit.
(There are many other reasons for my wanting to puke, but this was the deciding factor.)
Good God! I think my eyes went to “Self Protection” mode when I saw this post. That thing and all its ilk should be burned. I thought the flower prints were horrid but this is a whole new level of yuck. Need to look at photos of Marco and Hargreaves to recover…
Wayne does look nice in the photo above, though I realize that I’m in the minority here.
VOMIT!
Im sorry I can't lift my head out of the toilet long enough to comment!!!
i think he does look better, maybe we are all still tired and when we look at this picture some other time, we will realise that he still looks bad as ever, but for now, hes looking ok.
Just think…these are the relatives that were deemed *safe* to attend the wedding! Ugh.
MY EYES!! O WHY, KICKETTE WHY???
I'm still trying to get over the traumatic experience of seeing that unfortunate mankini. I think we need some hot men to get over that picture.
*stamps feet and cries* IT'S FRIDAY Kickette!!! I wanna see hot men, not some random Scouser's hairy bum!!! *sigh* But you're right, Wayne doesn't look too bad in that picture, although I've never thought he was that bad anyway…
Wow. Just… wow. I hope I never ever see something like that again. Kickette, you owe me pictures of JOhn and Toni at Disney Land to make up for this.
Ok I'm back from the wedding and can attest that I was simply exhausted and drunk. Rooney is still ugly. The world is back to normal.
OMG! I'm clearly still drunk and/or too tired, but I actually think Wayne looks normal in that pic. After reading everyone else's posts, it is clear that I am still drunk. Must head to rehearsal and dinner and more drink immediately. It's WEDDING SEASON!
Ew. Wayne Rooney just *near* a thong makes me cringe. He is so uggy.
I will say it, both Wayne and Colleen are growing into their adult softness of looks…. Ever noticed how people look better with a little bit of age on them? Like all the sharp, harsh angles have smoothed out? I notice it even on supermodels! Will never understand the novelty bathing suit thing, but whatevs! Are you going to be posting the pap shot of Rooney in the Mankini?! It might be like a car wreck – so tragic, but you just have to slow down and look!
oh and NEVER show me pasty man ass like that AGAIN.. I have the flu for chrissake, I don’t need any help making sick!
awww Wayne does looks cute with a bit of color in his cheeks!
Just think…these are the relatives that were deemed *safe* to attend the wedding! Ugh.
MY EYES!! O WHY, KICKETTE WHY???
No, it’s not the case. It’s fact that he’s next to a hairy man in a hideous thong that makes him look wonderful in comparison.

He’s extremely ugly, and yes, the telephoto lens is being extremely kind to him in this photo. Colleen, find yourself another bf b4 it’s too late

I’m pretty sure it’s the hat, Kickette. The bill balances out the size of his gargantuan ears.
Wow. Thats just terrible… and I don’t think any photographer/magician/plastic surgeon/Jesus could make Wayne Rooney look good.
I would agree, the hat is a nice touch but I still don’t enjoy his looks
