Bullies everywhere take notice. Your days of giving wedgies may be numbered.
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.
Tear away drawers? So simple yet so genius. The wedgie is a key component in any bullies arsenal you can be sure they aren’t just going to let it go without a fight. The Rip Away 1000 may thwart them for a few weeks but you can bet bullies everywhere will be working around the clock to figure out a way top beat the Rip Away 1000. For instance do they rip away from the front and the back? If not bullies could simply alter their tactics and switch from the classic wedgie to the even more dreaded “front wedgie” or melvin.

I’m going to invent a girl-version to deal with bra-snapping. A break-away bra. Brilliant.
