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.

Bad news for this guy.
The interesting answer - Rip away undies. Ellen’s friends must be pleased, and likely trying to figure out how to fund these for every boy and girl.
The twins will be scarred for life by appearing with DeGeneres.
...This year, 8-year-old twins Jared and Justin Serovich were working each other over with the schoolyard bully's staple when their mother, Julie, caught them in the act and took them to task.Julie's partner, Judy Kimberly, sarcastically suggested that someone should invent wedgie-proof underwear...
I “smelled a fish” from the article you posted when I read, “...Their mother’s partner...”. That’s why I hunted around and found that other article.
WOW! Great find ...now the pieces fit. Appearance on the DeGeneres show was a foregone conclusion. Yuck!
JERRY: He got fired the next day.
ELAINE: Why do they call it a wedgie?
GEORGE: Because the underwear is pulled up from the back and ... it wedges in..
JERRY: They also have an atomic wedgie. Now the goal there is to actually get the
waistband on top of the head. Very rare.
ELAINE: Boys are sick.
JERRY: Well what do girls do ?
ELAINE: We just tease some one 'til they develop an eating disorder.
guy who ruined his life.
LOL!!
“Cute. Wedgies. Ellen DeGeneres. Brief.”

“Cute. Wedgies. Ellen DeGeneres. Briefs.”
;’)
Come on guys ... there has to be a government funded study some where that details what gives the best wedgie ... boxers or briefs. ;D
ROFLMAO!
So, have you ever given anyone a wedgie? Hmmmmmmmm....? :_D
I went to Catholic School and we were not allowed to even know what a “wedgie” was.
Of course, these kids didn’t realize the best way to avoid a wedgie is to go al fresco.
Ellen has moderated, she’s not the raving pro-homosexual activist that she was in the 90s. She was great in that Disney movie.
True. It wasn’t part of the uniform. 8-D
