Future Republicans Combat The "Wedgie"

The following young brothers appear to be two future republicans.

From WLWT -

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Eight-year-old twins said they have the solution for wedgies, those dreaded and time-honored yanks on a school kid's underwear by playground bullies.

Jared and Justin Serovich came up with the "Rip Away 1000," rigged shorts that got them to the finals of a central Ohio invention competition earlier this year, as well as an invitation to appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

The third-graders from Gables Elementary took apart some old underwear and reassembled them with Velcro holding together the seams.

"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 "Ellen" installment was taped Wednesday. It was to air Friday.

The kids began brainstorming one day after they were horsing around, giving each other the treatment, and their mother's partner sarcastically said someone ought to invent wedgie-proof underwear, the family said.

Well, isn't this a novel idea! Yes the Velcro Undies are pretty nifty, but the idea I am talking about is being pro active and not being a sissy liberal.

A sissy liberal would stop these antics believing this offensive behavior can scar a kid for life. They would want to file lawsuits, have kids arrested under "No Tolerance Rules" and force the underwear yanker see a head shrink, thinking he has violent tendencies.

So instead of stopping the kids from playing childish games, as kids should, these kids were allowed to be kids. Instead of stopping the kids from perceived complexes that some believe being bullied brings, these kids learned to use their heads.

For some of the panty waists in our country using your head to counter a situation is a long lost idea anymore. It is much easier to coddle the children and file lawsuits to protect them from any perceived slights.

Kudos to these two future republicans and their little entrepreneurial minds for turning a child's game into an avenue for them to make some money. Now I wonder what they would do about Swirlies?
