Twins, 8, invent 'wedgie-proof' underpants

[Marilyn. 340]

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Bully-proof underwear earned 8-year-old twin Ohio boys a spot Friday on daytime TV talk show, "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," a pair of underwear that cannot be jerked up to give its wearer a painful "wedgie."

"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 brothers began brainstorming one day after they were playing 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.

Now if they can just invent a verbal-wedgy proof post, our VJ bullies would be out of business.

You know in ice hockey, when two players get into a fight, not only are they both put in the penalty box, but the instigator is also taken out of the game as well.

Without looking closely over the TOS, I would imagine talking about another member would be a TOS violation, outside of their presence. Also, trying to start a flame war is also a TOS violation and we don't need to be rocket scientists to know what your question would lead to.
