LULULEMON YOGA PANTS RETURN TEST: BEND OVER, LADIES!!!

On the heels of the highly-publicized recall of Lululemon yoga pants, some women say the company is asking them to bend over in front of in-store sales associates.

To determine if their yoga pants are "too sheer," obviously.

Last week, the yoga-inspired athletic company had to recall 17 percent of the pants (sold for roughly $100 each) bought between March 1 and March 8.

The reason? Their yoga pants' fabric was too see-through, inspiring a wave of jokes across the Internet and whiplash among men across North America.

The company posted on its blog:

"At the beginning of March, Lululemon stores and ecommerce site received some black luon women's bottoms that didn't meet our high standards."

"The materials used were the same but the coverage was not, resulting in increased sheerness. We want you to Down Dog and Crow with confidence."

"We felt these pants didn't measure up."

For unknown reasons, the company wouldn't disclose which pants were affected by the glitch, explaining only their relationship with manufacturer Eclat Textile:

"The items affected are certain styles of women's bottoms in our signature black Luon fabric" and that they "have not yet determined the cause of the sheerness."

Sean Penn's son handled a paparazzi guy in Beverly Hills Tuesday about as badly as anyone ever has, ramming him and calling him a "f***ot" and a "n***er."

Hopper Penn, 19, was following his famous dad into a medical building yesterday when he got into an altercation with an African-American photographer.

Sean Penn kept his head down and walked in without a word.
