At Last! Wedgie-Proof Underwear!





Two brothers from Ohio have managed to create what most people have long thought impossible--wedgie-proof underwear. Their stroke of genius came when their mother caught the boys giving each other wedgies (apparently a common form of recreation among eight-year-old boys). During the lecture that followed, she snipped that someone should find a way to put an end to the painful procedure once and for all.

The boys took her suggestion to heart, and invented the "Rip Away 1000," an ordinary-looking pair of underwear with velcro holding the seams together. When grabbed by a brother or bully, the underwear (as the name suggests) simply rips away!

Congrats to Jared and Justin Serovich. Your invention is bound to make the world a much better (less painful) place!

Oooooh... But would that velcro not be painfully uncomfortable?

Yes, eight yearold boys + enjoy giving eachother wedgies. Ouch.

That is wonderful. Except hardly anyone I know gives wedgies anymore! >.< This would've been better three years ago, when Wedgies seemed to be popular.

er, congrats boys. kudos. I go to a really weird school, no one ever gives wedgies because in our school, a wedgie is equivelent to putting a mass murderer at large. I'm sure it work other places though.

There is a design flaw somewhere.
