Pants have now become political.


Paterson Politician Is Sick And Tired Of The Look And If He Has It His Way, Indecency Fines Will Soon Follow

PATERSON, N.J. (CBS) ― Instead of "stick 'em up," it will be more like "pull 'em up" now that fashion police in New Jersey have started a crackdown on baggy pants.

It's happening in Paterson, where city officials want to put the kibosh on this form of fashion.

Bart Johnson says wearing his pants low in a fashion statement, but one councilman is saying pull it up. He's even crafted a proposal to ban "baggy pants."

Teenagers and even little ones and women are sporting the fashion. The "saggy" or "baggy" look, where pants are pulled down and boxers are exposed seems to be all the rage these days.

Well, at least for some.

"I don't know. I'm not used to wearing my pants to my waist," college student LaToya Williams said.

I will feel a lot safer in that town if the law passes. Where would we be without anal-retentive assholes running things?

You won't have to worry about getting mugged by a thief with his trousers revealing the crack of his butt. Now, isn't that reassuring?

His next proposal will be to require men with back hair to shave if they want to wear tank tops in public.

[DeclinetoState]

Well, you wouldn't want to be mugged by someone showing his back hair, now, would you?

:evilgrin:

Cops seem to like the "style"..........the "style" has literally tripped up more than one miscreant from the law. Kinda limits what one can shop lift or steal from your house...seein' as one hand has to hold up the pants during the getaway.

Just women with hairy chests. :lol:

[DeclinetoState]

You also wouldn't want to be mugged by a woman showing a hairy chest.

:D

I'm not shaving my chest hair just because a woman mugs me. I'll show her how hairy it is.

This is like the laws against the fake testicles on trucks in Florida...

Isn't it great we live in such a wonderful country that the police have time for this? Murder, corruption, theft, abuse, all but eliminated, and now we can focus on whatever annoys a majority of voters.

You're right, gnome. Humanity is cursed from the very beginning by anal retentive sissies who haven't found their way to Hell and stayed there.

This is like the laws against the fake testicles on trucks in Florida....I'd dearly love to enforce a law against lowbrow culture which would permit me to administer a point-blank shot to the skull of anyone with some tacky/tasteless bumper sticker or window decal such as the ubiquitous one of Calvin urinating on one of our car manufacturer's logo.

But I couldn't in all good conscience enforce this ordinance unless I could execute producers of reality TV shows and wearers of tie-dye t-shirts.

I demand to be appointed Czar of Good Taste!

Yeah? Try out Vermont for a bit. It's OK if you're a murderer, pedophile, rapist or a child molester but God forbid if you have a headlight out!

It's about time somebody did something. I'm sick and tired of looking for clothes in shops that tell me - this is the style now - get used to it. I want shorts and swim trunks that are actually shorts and swim trunks rather than gangsta-rap identity fashion statements. I want pants without elephant legs. I want underware where it belongs - under.

Prison garb is all the rage. That's where the look started, in the prisons where prisoners don't always get clothes in their size. Upon release from prison, ex-cons felt that the baggy look was ideal for concealing weapons. A trend is born.

[DesertFox]

Try out Vermont for a bit. It's OK if you're a murderer, pedophile, rapist or a child molester but God forbid if you have a headlight out! Be fair, now. How are the murderers, pedophiles, rapists and child molesters supposed to see to do their, uh, "jobs" if everybody's headlights are out? :question:

[DesertFox]

The important thing about arresting a saggy-pants offender is reading him his rights.

"Dude, you gots the right to STFU. Anything you say will be used to kick the living shiite out of you. You get one phone call -- to your ma, to tell her you'll be a few years late getting home. You have a right to legal counsel, and the guy we picked out will see to it that you keep those farking pants pulled up, you walking rectum."
