So my wife has decided that the one thing I need this Christmas is Bert Boxers. Personally I'd settle for an XBox 360, but I've got a sneaking suspicion I'm going to wake up Christmas morning to find these in my stocking, which is disturbing on so many levels. There's the whole Bert & Ernie and the forbidden love that dare not say its name (not that there's anything wrong with that!), which leads me to wonder if Ernie is on the back of these boxers. But the thing that concerns me the most is this. If I'm ever in an accident and they have to cut my clothes off of me, do I really want everyone to see that I'm wearing "Talk Nerdy to Me" boxers? I mean this is right up there with being a kid (or adult) and having them find out you're wearing underwear with your name stitched into it. I think I'd be scarred for life!
