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 (Ã,£254) Mayor Carol Broussard said.

Offenders will also risk up to six months in jail.

Fashionable

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."


White people wear sagging pants, too

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."

I can't think of any fashion fad as staggeringly unattractive as this one

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.

I love it.


"Exposure". Yes, because seeing a layer of threads, and then a second layer of threads slightly bagged below it, is an incredibley revealing factor that needs to be eliminated.

WHAT WHITE PEOPLE WEAR SAGGING PANTS?

WIGGERS AND PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH LOOSE CLOTHING.

I say we ban old farts.

The reminds me of a quote from Pele.  "Why are your pants at half mast? One of your homies get shot?"



On a side note, my pants are sagging some times.

[Necro]

Wait, this is just this city, right?


And it's obviously racially motivated, because only "the blacks" wear incredibley sagged pants, and so they're trying to get all the money they make working pimps from them. educate;


Seriously, $500? Bullshit.

Things like this don't surprise me anymore.

I really don't see how exposing Boxers is any worse than a bikini bottom(from a social standpoint. I'd rather look at the latter).

Thank God.

How is exposing underwear indecent exposure? This is atrocious.

How is exposing underwear indecent exposure? This is atrocious.

SIR, I BELIEVE IT'S PERFECTLY FINE AS LONG AS THERE IS A SHIRT OR JACKET COVERING THE PANTIES.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

Bull shit.
I wear saggy pants.

It was a law for like 5 months in my state and still is.

Why is this a law?

Why? I don't wear baggy pants, but...Come on. Why? Why waste the time booking people for that? Do we honestly have nothing better to do? I mean, are there no real criminals running around we could be tossing in the big house?

I can picture the conversations in the cell now.
"What are you in for?"
"Armed robbery. You?"
"My pants were too big."
