Atlanta considers banning baggy pants

ATLANTA - Baggy pants that show boxer shorts or thongs would be illegal under a proposed amendment to Atlanta's indecency laws.

See? We were just whining about people wearing unflattering fashion, and here comes Atlanta to ban the bra! Well, at least the bra strap. Even though we actually haven't seen hide nor hair of a thong for a good year hereabouts. 'Cause, you know, it's not longer fashionable. Kinda forward thinking, in our opinion, of Atlanta to ban things in retrospect! Next, let's ban those immoral dance hall girls.

The amendment, sponsored by city councilman C.T. Martin, states that sagging pants are an "epidemic" that is becoming a "major concern" around the country.

Goes to show, if the Modesty people would just make even a croak about the guys who go around with their boxer short dangling outside their stupid pants, we would be so down with them, even despite the, ya know, creepy Xtian thing.

While we're at it, can we also ban sweatpants with writing on the butt? Because, in our opinion, they also greatly contribute to teh stupid.

"Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it's the in thing," Martin said Wednesday. "I don't want young people thinking that half-dressing is the way to go. I want them to think about their future."

See? It's for the children!!!

The proposed ordinance would also bar women from showing the strap of a thong beneath their pants. They would also be prohibited from wearing jogging bras in public or show a bra strap, said Debbie Seagraves, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia.

.....

Wait, jog bras?

We wear jog bras.

Fuck you, Atlanta!

Fascists.

Yeah, here it seemed to catch on late and be over early, thank gawd. I don't think we're any more tasteful than the rest of the country, it's probably just too dang cold & wet to run around in your skivvies most of the year.

But going out in a bikini is okay? How about swimming trunks? Shorts? GAH! We loves the tiki for bringing us teh stupid news, but now our brains our scrambled!

The baggy-pants-with-your-undies-showing look is still in here for some men, and my contention is those things can be a hazard to their health, what with their nearly tripping over the baggy crotch when they walk. (It's kinda funny to watch, though!)

Oh, and I too hate the pants with the writing across the ass. Nothin' like seeing an 8-year-old with "Naughty" written across her buttocks.

I didn't even really notice the trend until it hit little kids, and then I was like, "Why does that little girl have writing on her butt?" It's inevitably a girl. Guess we can at least be grateful they don't have undie-flashin hiphop pants for little boys.

I know, it's totally a public health hazard, I mean, what if those waddling hiphop pants guys go and get tripped by an old lady, hmmm?

LOL. One of the warmest cities in the country, forbidding the sight of a bra strap that might hang out over a sleeveless shirt or tank top. Looks like next time I go to Hotlanta I'll need to go without a bra and bounce around like nature intended. I want people to think about their future. All saggy. :P
