Cajun Town Bans Saggy Pants
DELCAMBRE, La. (AP) - Sag your britches somewhere else, this Cajun-country town has decided.
Mayor Carol Broussard said he would sign an ordinance the town council approved this week setting penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine for being caught in pants that show undergarments or certain parts of the body.Broussard said he has nothing against saggy pants but thinks people who wear them should use discretion. “It’s gotten way out of hand out here,” he said.Albert Roy, the councilman who introduced the ordinance, said he thought the fine was a little steep and should be more in the $25 range, but he still favored the measure.
“I don’t know if it will do any good, but it won’t hurt,” Roy said. “It’s obvious, and anybody with common sense can see your parts when you wear sagging pants.”
Broussard’s advice for people who like their pants to hang low: “Just wear it properly. Cover your vital parts. I mean, if you expose your private parts, you’ll get a fine. If you walk up and your pants drop, you get a fine. They’re better off taking the pants off and just wearing a dress.”

I must say this is one of the most retarded fads I have ever seen.
I know some people may bitch and complain that we should not be regulating what or how people should wear clothes, but dudes who think that this is somehow cool is clearly not very bright.
I’m just one black guy who has always believed that black folks have a hard enough time getting ahead in this society as it is, so I just don’t get why so many black folks, and in particular young black men seem to draw the proverbial bulls-eye on themselves.
This is just the long and never ending saga of ghetto minstrel behavior and how it affects black folks.
But silly Snoop, “it’s the white man who symbolically pull our pants down everyday”

And how many of the asshats who wear their pants like that even *know* where it originated? Not many, I’ll bet; I’ve yet to see a major upsurge in stupid young people getting tattoos with sharpened paper clips and spoon soot . . .
