Nothing like a good bulge to brighten your Monday, amiright? Just kidding. It's been a while since we've typed something that ridiculous. If you're into that sort of thing, you can take a moment to soak in Patrick Dempsey in some workout pants. McDreamy was snapped Jon Hamm-ing the heck out of some sporty bottoms, and of course, the Internet loves it. In the event you need a refresher, Hamm also turned heads in a similar situation not long ago. The Mad Men star wasn't pleased when people made a fuss about his photos, stating "I mean, it's not like I'm a f---king lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world," he said. "But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c--k, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal."

As much as we're inclined to ogle, he makes a great point! We can't help but wonder, does the former Dr. Shepherd feel the same way? Is it invasive to admire some McWeenie? Hamm appears to think so. "They're called 'privates' for a reason. I'm wearing pants, for f--k's sake. Lay off," Hamm told Rolling Stone. He did go on to say, however, "But whatever, I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite." It's a controversial topic; that's for sure. That being said, in the battle of the bulge, is Patrick Dempsey the new Jon Hamm? Come to think of it, does it even matter? Nah. Bulge or no bulge, they're both fantastic.
