Just so Kansas, Georgia, and all the rest don’t feel lonely at the HillBilly Legislation Barbecue, Virginia has jumped right in with literal fashion police.
Fines for ‘droopy drawers’ backed
The Virginia state house has voted to outlaw the trend of wearing trousers so low that underwear hangs over the top.
Delegates said the habit, popular across the US and in other Western countries, was “coarsening” society.
But others hit back, urging legislators to remember their own “fashion follies” and saying the law would be used mostly against black people.
Does anyone seriously see this law being enforced? I mean, outside the context of providing an excuse for the police to hassle youth whenever they want to?
