Let the Kids Wear Their Sagging Pants
You know how I know you're an idiot? You wear your pants like these idiots...
The NY Times has an article today on the constitutionality of wearing drooping drawers (I guess Obama hasn’t done anything particularly drool-worthy today).
You all know what they’re talking about; you’ve all seen young boys and (sadly) young men wearing their extra baggy jeans and shorts nearly beneath their ass, exposing their boxer shorts for all the world to see.
Apparently some communities have voted and passed laws making it illegal to wear your drawers to low as to expose your ass.
As to the legality of preventing kids from looking like asses:
Ms. Rousso, 48, looking uptown chic on the witness stand in a three-quarter-length embroidered jacket and a knit black dress by Ellen Tracy, conceded that sagging pants were not for her. They look “uncomfortable,” she said, and “comfort is very important in the things I wear.”
Still, the low-slung pants look is one that has gone from “tribal” to mainstream, she said, displaying pictures of the soccer star David Beckham, the teenage heartthrob Zac Efron, Prince Harry and others sporting it.
“It started out as an expressive concept, and it went mainstream,” Ms. Rousso said. “A lot of people picked up on it, with the social ramifications that went with it.”
In case you’re unsure of how I feel about kids who wear their drawers down around their asses — I think they’re freak’n morons. Which is exactly why I don’t think there should be any laws prohibiting them from wearing them.
It makes it a lot easier to pick out the morons and idiots around you when they wear such obivious markers.
Now, if we could only get the moron and idiot drivers to put bumper stickers on their cars. Something like “idiot on board” would be helpful (though I treat any car with an Obama sticker on it pretty much the same way as I would a “CAUTION: Idiot Behind the Wheel” sticker).
