The New York Post, in keeping with it's international reputation for incisive reporting on key issues, has revealed the hidden truth about the city's female population: many of them don't wear underpants.

As part of an "undercover survey," The Post interviews some 18, 19 and 20 year-old students who claim that going commando lets them "breathe a little bit," feel "more comfortable," and gives them one less thing to think about when dressing the morning.

Ironically (oh, so ironically) this news came on National Underwear Day -- a day when we should be celebrating the comfort, protection, and sanitary benefits of a good, clean pair of skivvies, instead of tossing them aside like a hippies, hussies, and the common tramp.

New York, I am ashamed for you.
