I have just seen "Pretty Womanhood," and there is a flaw in the second
episode on that video. When Ranma used the nasty smelling things from
the various men's sports teams to cripple Happosai, he used three things: a
jock strap from the rugby team, a unitard from the wrestling team, and a
sash from a sumo wrestler. Okay, here is the problem: RUGBY PLAYERS DO
NOT USE JOCK STRAPS!!! Any form of rigid padding is illegal, and a cup is
certainly rigid, so a jock strap would not be worn. Sorry, just a rugby
player with too much time on his hands who nit picks WAY too much.

Uh... you're not QUITE correct here... A jock strap is NOT rigid
padding, nor is it a cup. It's basicly (oh god, is this embarrassing!) a
soft, elastic pouch that supports the family jewels, holding them close to
the groin, by means of an elastic strap around the waist, and two smaller
straps around the legs. At least that's the definition in the dictionary I
have, and a rather muddled description of the one I used to wear during
P.T. in my old army days.
