COLUMBUS, Ohio - Wedgie-proof underwear earned 8-year-old twin boys a spot Friday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." Using rigged boxers and fabric fasteners to hold together some seams, Jared and Justin Serovich came up with the "Rip Away 1000."

"When the person tries to grab you — like the bully or the person tries to give you a wedgie — they just rip away," Justin explained Thursday by phone from Los Angeles, where the TV segment was taped Wednesday.
The third graders from Gables Elementary School began brainstorming one day after they were horsing around, giving each other the treatment. Their mother's partner sarcastically said someone ought to invent wedgie-proof underwear, the family said.
The project got the boys to the finals of a central Ohio invention competition earlier this year, followed by the television appearance.

Man, if I had a pair of underpants like that, I wouldn't have to tuck in my shirt anymore.

how sad.Yes, in some places people will attempt to make you feel uncomfortable by tearing away at your undergarments.

Also, people don't really DO wedgies, they usually give or receive them.

Con, dacking in Australia is pulling their pants straight down to their ankles. Quite popular over here. Had it happen to me a few times.

Some people forget to wear underwear though :failowned:

Here it is called pantsing, and it does not occur if you are smart and wear a belt.

Because it is not just for holding trousers up.

Get back here you young'in!

Me too. Good thing I wear a belt :awesome:

My group generally preferred hanging small children from trees by their bag straps to dacking. Wedgies... I've heard threats made, and apparently one guy was wedgied pretty well in the change rooms in year 7, but I've never witnessed one.

Witnessing a REAL wedgie is a rare and surreal event, not publicly witnessed in this area in over four years.

"When the person tries to grab you — like the bully or the person tries to give you a wedgie — they just rip away,"
And then you have no underwear on in the case of the person running back two seconds later to pants you... Fucking retard kids. There was a preventative measure against this developed about the same time the wedgie was devised: a punch in the nose followed by a swift kick to the balls.

Although, today, for a scant five hundred dollars and three weeks, you can upgrade to tasering the bitch in the gut.

The fact that the kid pussies out and resorts to a taser is the reason he gets pants'd.
