Forbidden things
Newspapers are playing an attempt by Louisiana to ban low-cut jeans as bad news for Britney. But the article actually exposes something far worse: The proposed bill, approved by the state's House Criminal Justice Committee last week, would outlaw wearing clothing in public that intentionally exposes undergarments or "any portion of the pubic hair, cleft of the buttock or genitals".Let me firstly say I can't wait for "cleft of buttock" to go onto the statue books. Secondly I could not agree more with this law. Of course it means nothing for Britney and her hipsters. She doesn't expose her pubic hair, her butt crack or her genitals through her clothing. Indeed part of her allure is that she almost shows them but doesn't (the other part of her allure is she looks like juvenile jail-bait, but that's for another time). This law would rightly outlaw such ludricous fashions as those boys who wear their jeans so low their underpants hang out; mechanics who's butt crack is exposed to all; those women who wear only bras; and other crimes against good fashion and taste. It's almost worth moving to Louisiana for. Lastly let's think of all the Google hits I'm going to get from this post. posted by Simon on 05.12.04 at 03:00 PM in the

Hear, hear! The saggy pants phenomena is finally screeching to a halt there. I wonder how many states will follow their lead? -P.S. Sorry, this wasn't a Google hit. posted by: Geo on 05.12.04 at 03:44 PM [permalink]I am so sick and tired of these low-slung jeans. Playing the Thong Game has lost all of its challenge. What's the fun in that? posted by: Helen on 05.12.04 at 07:43 PM [permalink]As a Louisiana resident, let me just say that it's a bummer for me to read this here. I must have missed it when it was posted locally. For what it's worth, it is virtually unenforceable in New Orleans where the vast, vast majority of that practice takes place. posted by: Rob on 05.13.04 at 02:52 AM [permalink] |
