Louisiana May Ban Low-Slung Pants

BATON ROUGE, La. - People who wear low-slung pants that expose skin or
"intimate clothing" would face a fine of up to $500 and possible jail
time under a bill filed by a Jefferson Parish lawmaker.
State Rep. Derrick Shepherd said he filed the bill because he was
tired of catching glimpses of boxer shorts and G-strings over the
lowered belt lines of young adults.
The bill would punish anyone caught wearing low-riding pants with a fine
of as much as $500 or as many as six months in jail, or both.
"I'm sick of seeing it," said Shepherd, a first-term legislator. "The
community's outraged. And if parents can't do their job, if parents
can't regulate what their children wear, then there should be a law."
The bill would be tacked onto the state's obscenity law, which restricts
sexual activity in public places and the sale of sexually explicit items.
Joe Cook, head of the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web
sites)'s Louisiana chapter, said the bill probably does not meet the
U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites)'s standard for the prohibition of
obscene behavior under the First Amendment.
"What about a woman who is wearing a bathing suit under her garment or
she has something like a sarong wrapped around her and it's below her
waist," he said. "I can think of a lot of workers, plumbers, who are
working and expose their buttocks ..."

I can see this Derrick Shepherd guy following young women around with a
ruler trying to measure how much of their butts protrude above their
pants...for hours at a time.

And then measuring how much of his tumescent, engorged member protrudes
above HIS pants...
"HE" gets erections from seeing female butt cracks, therefore it's a sinful
sight, therefore, make it illegal. It follows logically doesn't it, doesn't
it???

Oh definitely! He probably goes home at night after a hard days work of
surveying girl's butts and relaxes by downloading pics from the
bigbutts.com website. :-)

Yes. This is social cause that I have trouble getting too upset about.
Bring on the fashion police! But there was an NPR story where they
mentioned the drug dealers on the corner were nicknamed the "Penguins". I
thought that cute so it would be a shame to our overall cultural levity to
have a law that restricts people's ability to make _themselves_ look
silly.

Isn't it great to live in a society where people can make a fools of
themselves in any way that they choose? :-)
