Pull your trousers up or go to jail, warns Louisiana mayor

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The Independent', 'C')all it the battle of the drooping drawers. Across the American South, a cry has gone out to ban sagging trousers that show the wearer's underwear. Bemused violators of the proposed law will be fined or end up in jail.

Deep in Cajun country, the mayor of the Louisiana town of Delcambre is about to sign into law a proposal that will make it a crime to wear trousers that show underwear. "If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine [of up to $500 (£250)]," Mayor Carol Broussard said. Repeat offenders could land themselves a six-month stretch in jail.

From Baptist church halls to town halls, calls are being made for tough laws and regulations which populist politicians and god-fearing citizens say will restore dignity to their streets and shopping malls. Opponents say the measures are designed to harass young black males and other followers of hip-hop fashion. Civil liberties groups say they follow a long tradition of laws - many of them unenforceable - which are aimed squarely at the poor...

Tho' I'm generally an advocate of personal expression (within respectful bounds of course), I do have to agree that the overgrown infant look, with it's baggy xxx-large sizes that look like you're wearing a diaper with three loads and it's exaggerated toddler gait, is pretty... well... infantile...

[Madpaddy]

F*ck me.

Is that fashion?

I thought those guys were just incontinent.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd you know what? It's somehow not cool, or it's considered politically incorrect, to criticize low class blacks like you can other racial and economic groups. But i don't care; let me go on record as saying their music is low IQ and their fashion is too.

[Madpaddy]

Baldwin,

We are well on our way. When my wife was pregnant, the white women were outnumbered 6 to one in the maternity unit. Some areas in Cork where I live are entirely Nigerian now. It doesn't bother me actually. It's the young angry hoody wearing white males that worry me.

PO will take care of immigration and all the Poles, Nigerians, Chinese etc will be integrated by interbreeding like the Vikings, Celts, English and Normans before them.

We are the ultimate mongrols.

[Madpaddy]

I mean look at these guys. Bloody mongrols,like me.

Thanks (I think),

Anyway, MP has a bugout plan to colonise an uninhabited island and raid the mainland every once in a while for supplies and brides for the boys.

Here we are in training.

Might explain those world-turned-upside-down photos of Jerry Adams and Ian Paisley. For my fellow yanks who wonder what the big deal there is, it'd be like getting Malcom X and George Wallace to shake hands and smile for the camera.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')wo english thugs walk into a bar in Ireland and both decide to have a competition on who can annoy the irish barman more.
The first thug walks up to the barman and says:
"OI! Paddy, did you know that St Patrick was English?"
The barman says nothing and continues wiping down the bar.
The second thug say "watch this. This'll really piss him off!"
He walks up to the bar and says:
"OI! Paddy, did you know that St Patrick was a wanker?"
The barman looks up and says:
"I know, Your mate just told me."

Everyone has assumed this law is designed to get anti-social young men who wear baggy pants.

There are plenty of nice middle class thong-wearing girls who are going to get busted by a law like this too.

[I_Like_Plants]

Well, I think the law is homophobic!

The low-pants thing is from prison, and it means the wearer of the low pants is "available" for homosexual relations, in the feminine role. Ask any low-pants wearer, they probably know how to use the colored stuff off of M&Ms to put eyeshadow, rouge, etc effects on themselves too. The low pants are an invitation for well ... "you can put your log in my fireplace, big boy!".

Ranks right up there with hanky codes, the earring in this or that ear, the plucked eyebrows, and well, anyone remember the underground comic character Snappy Sammy Smoot? Ways to indicate one is a "catcher" come and go......
