Legislation now wants to control our wardrobe?
In Atlanta, the city council is considering an amendment to ban baggy pants. They feel that this type of fashion sense is distasteful as it shows off the undergarments of many men. Also…they claim to be looking out for the physical health of these patrons… ‘ “It kind of doesn’t make sense. It is hard for people to walk,” Martin said.’
I made a new category for this post; “Just Plain Ridiculous,” and for good reason. I read this news feed online, and almost shit myself senseless. Since when has it become the right of our government to control how I want to wear my pants. What if I choose not to wear any pants at all? Are they gonna ban the right to show off legs? I don’t understand how this is any different then just wearing a plain bathing suit. At least pants cover up the legs, who cares if they are low? It’s not like he has nothing else underneath it!
The best part of this story is the racial profiling. I was pretty pissed at the way the Atlanta city council put some of their points, as it was a blatant method to complain about the dress of certain ethnic groups.
