Saggy Pants = $500 fine

Gas price to retail outlet - $5.00

Jeans - $20.00

Saggy jeans exposed to the public in Delcambre, Louisiana - $500.00

That's right. The maximum penalty for wearing saggy jeans in public now in that town is a $500 fine and 6 months in jail. Oddly enough, the last time I saw the poll question dealing with this new ordinance, about 70% of people agreed with it, while 25-30% of people didn't.

I'm not one to wear sagging pants. I don't see how one would find it comfortable. But, I also don't see the point in high-heeled shoes and have no idea how anyone could find those of any comfort. To each their own. So long as someone isn't exposing themselves in public, why should there be a prohibition against one's clothing preference in what they wear and how they wear it? I don't see the point in turning my hat around sideways, but do I think there should be a fine for people who do so? No, of course not. Heck, I think it's even a little silly to wear it backwards, but again, that's just me. It'd be ridiculous to fine a person for wearing their hat in such a manner.

If a boss or principal want to set rules at work or school that sagging pants are prohibited, since it may show off one's boxers, then fine. But, when one is outside of work and the school, why in the world shouldn't they be allowed to dress in what they're comfortable in, so long as it doesn't result in certain private parts popping out and about?

The sagging pants fashion style is most commonly associated with "hip hop," and what ethnicity makes up the majority of "hip hop"? African-Americans. No, there are no rules and regulations over high-heeled shoes, even though when walking in them, one is more apt to slipping, tripping, falling, and spraining/twisting/breaking something than when they're not. No rules and regulations over belly shirts, which show more cleavage with one person than cleavage that is shown with 10 people in sagging pants (even that's an understatement). No restrictions on women with the bug-eyed, alien-esque sunglasses that may traumatize little children, in fear that they may have been taken to Mars. But, sagging pants? No, we can't have those. They show off one's boxers! Even if that's the case, who doesn't have a shirt(s) which might be a tad on the tight side, or even pants that are a bit tight? When one bends over, the boxers or whatever one is/isn't wearing downstairs will likely be seen by passersby. Wait! That's it! We should ban bending over! It makes perfect sense now! If ones bends over to pick up something they dropped, to pick up something that another dropped, or whatever, they can be fined up to $500 and put into jail for half a year. I may just have to write the mayor and councilman of Delcambre and fill them in on the idea.
