- brstilson, on 10/10/2007, -4/+89FTA: "Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it's the in thing,"
Isn't that the definition of "the in thing?" - theblooms, on 10/10/2007, -11/+90Ban looking at some dude's boxers? I'm all for it. But ban looking at some hot chick's thong? NO WAY!
- techweenie1, on 10/10/2007, -5/+63HELP!!! Somebody Call the Fashion Police! HOTlanta is stuck in 1994!!!
- fluidfoundation, on 10/10/2007, -12/+62I say don't. It helps us down here to identify the idiots and criminals.
- brstilson, on 10/10/2007, -4/+36She does not want to see a law against clothing, but said she thinks teenagers are sending a message with a way of dressing that is based in jailhouse behavior.
That is such a ***** line. "I don't want to see a law against clothing, so I'm proposing a law against clothing." Really though, crazy laws like this get proposed all the time. It has a very low chance of passing, and even if it does, the ACLU will take it to court and it will get declared unconstitutional anyway. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24In 20 years this law will go into a book called "World's Most Ridiculous Laws" right next to a law in Carmel, N.Y. which says that "a man can't go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match."

[Countdown to language/vocabulary flamewar in 3....2....1....] - MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23"Doesn't anyone have any common sense?"
Yes. The one making nudity completely legal. I think that's obvious. - brianbb98, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21this is what we're paying taxes for?
- GirthAgain, on 10/10/2007, -5/+22I'm pretty sure this guy is a democrat. I think it's illegal to elect a republican in Atlanta.
- Smokersroom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17You think that a clashing jacket/trouser combo is a laughing matter?
- GirthAgain, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21Wow. There's one in every crowd.
Headline: Something completely unrelated to George Bush
Lame poster: George Bush is teh ghey. - mathmochristo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Krusty: OK, we'll start off with the baggy -- wha? [sees Homer] Those
are supposed to be baggy pants. Baggy!
Homer: Ooh. I've never had a pair of pants that fit this well in my
life! - FirstDivision, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I couldn't help but wonder what came before "fat2":
http://www.iranian.com/Anyway/2003/December/Images/fat.jpg - strafefire, on 10/10/2007, -18/+31***** Nanny State *****!!!
Other laws on the table in Atlanta:
Bill HR 232: To verify that all people wipe their asses when they *****, we will install cameras in their homes.
Bill HR 205: All people must wear pink shirts with polka dots, slacks that are purple, and a red cape. Not magenta, not fuchsia -- red
Bill HR 902: All citizens must use "All hail the mighty zebras" as the standard Atlanta greeting.
Bill HR 132: Anyone who uses 1337speak in any communications from within the city, shall be arrested and sodomized.
Bill HR 234: Anyone that utters the name "Michael Vick," shall be immediately arrested, stripped naked, and kicked in the nuts repeatedly, until they fall off. For females, you will be punched in the box by a male of a minimum height of 6ft4in until his fist can penetrate your cervix.
Bill HR 1984: The city of Atlanta acknowledges that we have always been at war with Eastasia. - TheRealMrClean, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14As a citizen of Atlanta, I believe the city should be looking into the rampant corruption of the city council rather than arresting people for wearing baggy pants. This is shameful.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15One state making public nudity completely legal, another banning bra straps. Doesn't anyone have any common sense?
- toxictonic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15http://www.iranian.com/Anyway/2003/December/Images/fat2.jpg
- KicktheDonkey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Have you walked around any inner-city area lately? The "sag" is still a predominant style. And I *hate* it.
That ***** was popular when I was in high school over ten years ago. I thought it would have died by now. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I think they're more concerned about the people who pretty much wear their pants around their freakin' knees.
- code2joy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12land of the free!
- kill4killin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Then we should ban listening to Elvis as well...he sung about jailhouse behavior...
- zombiedepot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9If your child has sagging pants, then I'm afraid the terrorists have already won.
- inactive, on 10/29/2007, -19/+28We should also ban public pools & beaches because of swimwear! Also shorts & skirts! And any blouse that shows off cleavage! And fast! Thank god for the Republican party!
- gibsonic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8fake or not. baggy pants are a good thing. if they are being chased by the cops they won't be able to get away. it's like running with your pants down to the *****.
- sleze, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11The title is misleading. They aren't banning baggy pants, they are banning the practice of hanging your pants so low that you can see people's underwear. Baggy has less to do with ass crack than it has to do with hiding how fat you are.
- MrUnderbridge, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Well, she did promise to get crack off of Atlanta's streets...
- thefloss, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I am interested in what you have to say and would like to subscribe to your pamphlet.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Any model cell phone on a belt clip.
"Everyone!! Everyone!! Look at me. See my cellphone? I have to have it on my belt for quick access because I'm so important." - Smokersroom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Sorry, what are you trying to say?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Actually, this is exactly how the Founding Fathers wanted it.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9The only thing that needs to be banned are politicians and bureaucrats who don't understand or have never read the Constitution.
These morons should be summarily thrown from office and replaced by people who cherish liberty. - 1jaxstate1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"The proposed ordinance would also bar women from showing the strap of a thong beneath their pants. They would also be prohibited from wearing jogging bras in public or show a bra strap"
Damn, this would just be one more reason to never leave my PC to go outside. - simplynix, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7If the Christian Right wasn't so anti-constitution, I'm sure the ACLU wouldn't have a problem with them.
- nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7902 and 1984 were hilarious, the others... no so much.
- shadow2063, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Is it me or is America not being very free any more?
Its just a bunch of rich fat man sitting around saying they dont like baggy pants so no one can where them! Selfish Bastards! - mthd, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10let people dress however they want
- StudsTurkel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5costing the taxpayers milions in lawyer fees, courthouse fees, etc. that could be better used.
It is just about time for pitchforks. - hollismb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I believe the term is 'whale tail'. I just learned that one last night, so I had to use it.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Idiot post JamesSpaza. The ACLU, while it may be annoying, goes after Civil Liberties cases -- it is a Libertarian outfit and has defended religious expression as much as it has people being subjected to religion when they don't want it.
I know Rush and Hannity and O'Reilly slam the ACLU constantly -- that's because it looks out for people and their rights. These elitist shills probably love the way you think. - DaffyDuck, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Here's an idea: Look away.
- MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6"I am also entitled to being able to walk around town without seeing people's asses and underwear all ***** day."
No, I'm afraid you're not "entitled" to that. You are, however, allowed to not look. - walkingdogs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6"Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it's the in thing," Martin said Wednesday. "I don't want young people thinking that half-dressing is the way to go. I want them to think about their future."
I can see it now. I'm sorry we can't hire you, but it says here that you wore sagging pants as a child and that is just something that we don't condone.
I swear I would like to find out what these politicians are smoking nowadays and get my hands on some of it because it seems like it ***** you up.
I think that this country should come up with a system that only allows the middle class working man/woman to run for public office. These bourgeois ass ***** that end up getting elected are completely out of touch with reality and just throw money away pushing for ***** legislation such as this. - wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Bangers and mash! Bangers and mash!
- AndrewJC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Just don't try telling anybody over in England that you've got a fanny pack.
- williamdyer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Hear hear! Nasty pleated khakis with an obsolete model cell phone in a belt clip is ***** revolting.
- cyberwiz01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Apparently no one got it. By banning baggy pants, everyone will have to wear tight emo-pants.
- Nidht, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5So, Atlanta is banning baggy pants which show underwear and Vermont is allowing full public nudity.
Does anyone communicate with the other states on these laws? - orxor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I can still walk around in just my boxers right? I just can't have baggy pants over them. What about a speedo? What about bicycle shorts? What about shorts that look like boxers? I think most of those are more revealing than wearing boxers with baggy pants over them.
- boombye, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Well not everybody is wearing tighty ass jeans like this were the 70s or 80s. I understand that guys of all backgrounds can wear something a little more loose fitting or baggy, as we don't want to suffocate our private area. You shouldn't label them all idiots and criminals. This is more to do with the pants riding low and giving you that plumber look, and they're especially paranoid about women going around and doing it because they don't want the younger ladies being influenced by that and dressing like hoochies either.
