Earlier this month it was Flint, Michigan. Last week? Riviera Beach, Florida. Two days ago, the latest nanny-state trend – outlawing saggy pants – made its way to Lynwood, Illinois, a suburb about 30 miles south of Chicago.

This, of course, only reinforces Chicago’s reputation as American’s Most Paternalistic City.

Coming to a city near you…

If mere existence of the law weren’t enough, many of its detractors – too boneheaded to understand that it is a lifestyle, not a skin color, that the ban ultimately seeks to root out (which, of course, it never will) – want to make this into a race issue.

Go America!

   I only think it should be a law if bare butts are being shown, that being said…..I think it is the dumbest “fashion” (as one poster elsewhere on the web called it) to have ever emerged. It looks like the wearer is mentally challanged and unaware of how to pull their pants up, OR are incapable of buying pants that fit correctly. Just wait until you are lucky enough to see the youngster with the skid marks showing, now that is something special…..NOT.
