I think this has to be one of the strangest videos I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing right about it: the idea is bizarre, the age of the competitor is wrong, the praise and support lavished on him is misplaced.
This video shows 10-year-old Jack Singer breaking the world record for wearing the most pairs of underpants at one time. The most obvious question to ask is, “Why?”
You’ve got a 10-year-old boy half-naked and being urged to keep putting on more underpants. I guess it’s better than him being urged to take his underpants off, but still.
Why are his parents so proud of him? Has he discovered a cure for cancer? Has he solved some impossible mathematical equation? No. He’s merely managed to wear 215 pairs of underpants at the same time and got himself on the news.
Amazing. Give him a chocolate medal.
