Bill would fine those who wear low-rise jeans

 

BATON ROUGE, LA. - How low can you go? A lawmaker has filed a bill in the Legislature that would ban people from wearing low-slung pants below the waist, thus "exposing skin or intimate clothing."

 

State Representative Derrick Shepherd got tired of catching glimpses of boxer shorts and G-strings over the low-slung belt lines of young adults.

 

His 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.

 

An ACLU spokesman says the bill goes too far. He says: "I can think of a lot of workers, plumbers, who are working and expose their buttocks."

 

Not a pretty picture.

someone needs to tell those plumbers and refrigerator repairmen that they're hanging out. I'll bet most don't even know it.

 

Imagine the job posting for the inspector's position....
