Two 8-year-old twin boys from Ohio have been getting attention for their incredible new invention - bully-proof underwear.

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 pants that cannot be jerked up to give its wearer a wedgie - the terror of nerds, swots and short kids everywhere.

'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 he was appearing on the Ellen De Generes Show to explain his invention.

Exactly why underwear that can entirely ripped off you by bullies is an improvement over regular underpants remains unclear. It strikes us that this is, in many ways, playing right into the bullies' hands, but there you go.

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.
