Quote: | US town set to ban saggy trousers
A mayor in the US state of Louisiana says he will sign into law a proposal to make wearing saggy trousers an act of indecent exposure.
Delcambre town council unanimously passed the ordinance earlier this week making it a crime to wear trousers that show underwear.
"If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine" of US$500 (£254) Mayor Carol Broussard said.
Offenders will also risk up to six months in jail.
Speaking of people who wear saggy trousers, Mr Broussard told the Associated Press news agency: "They're better off taking the pants off and just wearing a dress."
Town attorney Ted Ayo said the ordinance expands on the existing state indecent exposure law by adding underwear to the list of forbidden exposures.
"This is a new ordinance that deals specifically with sagging pants," Mr Ayo said. "It's about showing off your underwear in public."
Some residents say the ordinance targets blacks, as low-slung trousers are fashionable among hip hop fans.
Mr Broussard denied it was racially motivated.
"White people wear sagging pants, too," he said.

F**k them.
What a bunch of idiotic pricks.
I'd love to meet those who put this forward and tell them what sick little police/nanny-state whores they are.
So, it's now "if I can see your underwear" you might get six months in Jail.
Then, kids growing up will think that this law is normality - and will then probably sit back and let the next stage happen - "No bare shoulders" or something......and on and on....
People need to stand up to this horse s**t!
I don't want these type of ideas spreading anywhere else. _________________ www.myspace.com/garethwilliamsmusic |

seems like too high a fine and seems like a silly law yet peoples pants can fall downand they priobably rub their big asses into the seats on buses
i have to wear suspenders or pants fall off and if belt is too tight thats bad for heart i think and painful
all they need to do is spend 10 dollars on suspenders
maybe kilts will be worn by all these crazies
zoot suits are scary on people - very scary too scary _________________ Puzzling Evidence
