Panties

Undercover Operation A man in Bethany, Oklahoma has been knocking on doors and leaving notes with specific instructions: Asking for women to give him their underwear, reports CBS News. The notes say that the women will be given $20 in exchange for undies. Bethany Police Chief Neal Troutman uses his amazing skills of deduction and says this person "apparently has a fetish." The Chief also says he's worried what this "sick individual" might do next. But should the cops be concerned? Seeing as how this panty enthusiast has conducted himself quite civilly so far?

"Is It True That You Should Sleep Without Panties On To Air Out?"

It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (As always: Don't do drugs!) It was my pleasure to get baked with my brother of another mother, Rich, and attempt to tackle issues like "accidental virginity", personal hygiene, and telling your ex you have syphilis. (Note that I said "attempt.") Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.)

British Writer: Bring Back Big-Bottomed Undies!

In the wake of the story about how a pair of generously-sized underwear put out a fire, writer Caitlin Moran has written an amazingly funny piece for the Times of London on the "practical superiority of big pants." Is it time that big pants — or "granny panties", as they're known on this side of the pond [I call them "period panties" -Ed.] — made a comeback? Moran says she is "pro big pants" and argues that underwear is no longer something people don't talk about; unmentionables are totally mentionable! "In 2008, knickers are no longer a secret," she claims. "Pencil skirts, skin-tight jeans and leggings - they all allow us to witness an exact outline of the wearer's pants." The problem, Moran argues, is that "Instead of having something that, sensibly and reassuringly, contains both the buttocks — what I would call a good pair of pants — they're wearing little more than gluteal accessories, or arse-trinkets."

Pants On Fire Granny panties: They're not just for comfort, they also can save your life. After a kitchen fire started in the northern England home of Jenny Marsey, her son and nephew reached for her size 18-20, high-waisted, cotton briefs laying on top of the laundry pile, and used them as a fire blanket, successfully extinguishing the flames. Of her life-saving knickers, Marsey said: "I call them my emergency ones. They're the ones you wear when you've run out of all your others!" [The Guardian]

Panty-Obsessed Perverts Have X-Ray Eyes

As if it's not bad enough that degenerate dudes in Japan try to get panchira (panty-glimpses) up schoolgirls' skirts or buy their used underwear from vending machines, now the pervs are employing the night-vision mode on their video cameras, which can apparently see through fabric. So a company called Cramer Japan invented ShotGuard Inner Shorts, infrared-blocking underwear! A matching bra is coming soon. More »

Could Going 'Commando' Spell The End Of Civilization?

Historians are beginning to believe that the advent of underwear helped bring about a boost in literacy in medieval England. Basically, the peasants who went commando began wearing undergarments, which made for a higher supply of rags, which then got turned into, well, fairly-affordable paper!
The International Medieval Congress heard yesterday that the rural habit of wearing nothing under a rough smock or leggings was frowned on as peasants developed into tradesmen and found themselves running shops with customers of the opposite sex. "As underwear became more popular, so the supply of rags increased significantly," Marco Mostert of Utrecht University told the conference in Leeds. "That in turn increased the amount of paper and brought knowledge within reach of a much wider audience.
