Robin Hood: Men in...Mantyhose?

I was listening to my favorite radio station the other day and came across the oddest idea in male fashion: male pantyhose.  The radio DJ talked about how tights were gaining popularity in Europe for men.  I'm talking Renaissance, "Romeo and Juliet" status.  They refer to them as "Mantyhose", a clever twist on the traditional "pantyhose" for women.  Honestly, I am open to new concepts in fashion for both genders, however this in my book is going a little far.  What do you think?

*I attached a link to an article with more "information" on this new trend! Check it out.
