LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. — The Laguna Niguel City Council wants to eclipse the annual ritual of mooning Amtrak trains and encourage thousands of partiers to pull up their pants.

The council voted Tuesday to ban consuming alcohol in public and urinating in public to crack down on the 30-year-old tradition. City officials said the vote does not ban mooning but is meant to discourage rowdy behavior.

"Most of the people who come aren't locals. Because of the Internet, it's gone worldwide," city spokeswoman Meg Waters said. "It's not a local family event. It's just gotten bigger and bigger."

Why waste a perfectly good mooning on Amtrak?

There’s City hall, State Capitol, DC...

Y’know it seems to me that local, state and federal governments can think up a million different ways to confiscate additional revenue from normal, law-abiding citizens; from cigarettes to “absorbing” gift cards that haven’t been used to boaters to not giving breaks to our veterans.

Are you telling me that they can’t simply cite these morons every time they drop their shorts?

They’d better watch it. My son did that when he was 14 to the neighbors and now he’s a registered sex offender until he’s 29. And yes, that’s all he did.
