The wedge may be outlawed

  • "Boy, we don't take kindly to people like you in these parts."
  • When wedges have been outlawed, only outlaws will show wedges.
  • I will protest this Orwellian measure by refusing to wear pants of any kind. Who's with me?
  • Damn - beaten to it - I was going to post this one earlier (it links to coverage of the same story run at another newspaper), but got sidetracked :o\ Anyway, I'm curious about this: "[the bill] would mandate three eight-hour days of community service for anyone who publicly wears clothing that intentionally exposes undergarments, or any portion of his or her pubic hair, cleft of the buttocks or genitals." Right.. so theoretically, you could wear low-front pants as low as you want, as long as you don't wear undies and shave your pubic hair?
  • I am with you "i feel unusual". Let the nasty bits run free! Seriously though, this reminds me of when they tried to outlaw "dungarees" (aka jeans) in the '50s. Sometimes I wonder about my nation. It's just friggin underwear. Get the fuck over it.
  • I'm with i feel unusual. /busted!
  • I found it pretty interesting that the people pushing the bill through were all democrats. One thinks of things like this to be Ashcroftesque territory...but I guess prudeness in politics draws little distinction between party lines (in some states anyway)
  • It's strikes me funny that some of the offenses that some of the folks in the Middle East hold against us in the US of A are the same that we hold against ourselves. Like somewhat exposed female bodies or women that wish to live just as they wish to. I fear all persons that live by dogma. My life lesson is: "don't be a knee-jerk anything" (thanks to P. Choyce) aside to genial: Party lines, state lines, panty lines, what's the difference?
  • Poor Wedge. Will he still be allowed to post?
  • Wedge will be allowed to post as long as he promises to keep his pants on while he's at the computer. Whether or not their zipped is not our concern. GramMa's feelings on this issue are mixed. On the one hand, I don't particularly enjoy seeing assholes hanging out in public. On the other, these people are ASSHOLES. What to do, what to do? I say we make a law that ASSHOLES have to be covered by underwear--preferably used--and over their heads. As far as the rest of it, we wouldn't need a law if people would just do as I do--point and laugh. Fools that dress funny hate that. There's nothing funnier than a thong stuck up some girl's butt and her waltzing around thinking she's a hottie. Nottie. And for real kicks, go up behind some doofus punk and jerk on his pants--loads of laughs watching him stagger and fall down. anyone who publicly wears clothing that intentionally exposes ... cleft of the buttocks Has anyone notified the plumber's union about this? There's no way this is going to pass.
  • they're they're they're they're damn Yingalish
  • Well, it's still Friday here.
  • I'm sorry, but if the legislature in that flyover state want to start legislating crimes of appearance, how about mandatory exercise camps for fatties in lycra or other clinging clothes. That's a sight I find way more unpleasant than a little butt-crack. (But large butt-crack can go, too) Seriously, this is silly. And when does the hair in that region of my body stop being belly hair and start being pubic hair? I mean, perhaps the legislators in question all have the kind of physique where they can't see their own navels, nevermind points south and have forgotten (or perhaps they're waxed smooth as a baby all over), but there's hair from navel down on most men.
  • This ain't gonna pass. It's not gonna pass, is it? Please, god, say it ain't gonna pass. They came for our pants, and no-one complained. Then they came for our sleeveless shirts, and no-one complained. Then they came for our sweaters, but I hadn't got any clothes left.
  • Opelousas Police Chief Larry Caillier said the clothing style promoted sexually deviant behavior and was offensive to women and children God Damn just God Damn
  • yippee...this doesnt apply to those of us that dont have any pubic hair!
  • Wow, to much information, ramix.
