COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - 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.

Were these 8 years olds getting wedgies cause they were real "terrors or Tearers? Won't the bullies get even more annoyed when they end up with underwear in their hands? And what would Captain Underpants say about all this? <_<

Didn't the Chippendale dancers come up with this years ago?

Sounds like Ellen DeGeneres is scraping the bottom of the barrel, no pun intended, for guests.

Very funny Kor, but I have to ask... Have they made those 'no-brown-strip' underwear for you yet?

Not yet but I'm hoping that there is an 8 year old working on that as we speak......... <_<

Hey, wipe those smiles off your faces when you joke about underwear problems. People with underwear stain problems can be in a tough scrape. Whoever could solve such problems should be flushed with pride, even eight year olds. <_<

After a brief encounter with humor, I can say I hope this is over.
