Nine cheeky Australians made headlines over the weekend when they were arrested for stripping down to their Jalur Gemilang-themed briefs at the F1 Grand Prix in Sepang

The men, all of whom are in their 20s, were arrested on Sunday for taking off their clothes to celebrate the victory of Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo.

While it's pretty much common knowledge that wearing any country's flag as clothing is disrespectful, did you know that some people actually think it's patriotic to wear flag-themed underwear? No wonder these things exist:
