Australia 'Undies hero' wrestles 'roo out of house

Quote:
A CANBERRA man was described as a hero for wrestling a kangaroo out of his house after being woken in the early hours by the marsupial smashing in.

Beat Ettlin, 42, who lives in the leafy suburb of Garran, awoke to the sound of glass splintering and saw a dark shape bounding on his bed about 2 am (AEDT) yesterday .
Here is the full article.

It's a pretty cool story, but I'm still puzzled as to what brand of undies he was wearing? If only it was mentioned somewhere in the article, just once, twice or three times.

So is this some kind of sickening viral marketing idea by Bonds to weasel their way back into the hearts of the Australian public?

Not gonna work.

I know, that's what I thought after reading the story. Either that or the people involved are hoping for some free budgie smugglers. I'd like to be known as the 'Undies Hero' but not if I was a slave to greedy company with no morals or heart.
