When walking around Bayou La Batre, it might be wise to buckle up. City leaders have passed an ordinance making it illegal to wear sagging pants that expose a person's skivvies or too much skin below the waist. The fishing village last week joined a host of other cities and state governments — from the Chicago suburbs to the state of Georgia — that have imposed or considered similar bans on low-hanging pants in public. But how low is too low?

I don’t care for the look, but aren’t there enough laws and ordinances? It’s indecent exposure or it isn’t, and if it isn’t, I don’t want any agency of government regulating style.

Whenever I see this sort of dress I instinctively start singing “My Prison Bitch” (The doo wop version of course)

Pants as an accessory. And I’m not talking the criminal kind, I’m talking the fashion kind!

No matter how tacky some fashion styles get, what is far more annoying is Big Brother getting into your wardrobe. Maybe they should have everyone just wear the color gray with the same cut and fit for everyone. I bet they would have liked some of Chairman Mao’s ideas.

I’m glad to hear about this! Sagging pants is just a way to honor jailhouse punks. The jailhouse punk wears his prison pants very low to show his willingness and desire to be buggered. Why honor behavior like that?

I recently saw a thug getting arrested in a grocery store parking lot because he fell down when his pants fell around his ankles while trying to run with a stolen case of beer.
Hilarious.

Bayou La Batre imposes ban on sagging pants

But shouldn’t we be engaging in the marvelous world of ‘celebrating diversity’ and exploring our inter-most feelings while respecting the multicultural aspect of ass-cracks and sagging trousers.

I call them “sex pants”, clearly that is the object of having your pants so low you can have sex without pulling your pants down.

My question to sex pants wearers is who is the stud they are dropping their pants for.

It makes them pull up their pants every time.

Ahem....Laura Ingraham had the “sponsor?” of this bill on her show.....he made a point about the, er, hygiene problems with this stupid dress.....they pull their pants up over their bums after they have done their business....and there is always some, er, chance of, er, residue (which is why you wash your hands, folks)....and when these idiots have to keep hiking their pants up all the time, they are re-infecting their hands with the, er, “residue.” Not good if they work in fast food, restaurants, etc....

Isn’t that where Forrest Gump was to have made his fortune?

Good ole Bubba was from Bayou La Battre I think.
