Not only are they telling us we have to wear something, now they're trying to tell us what to wear.


Baggy trousers that hang way below the belt and expose what the wearer has on underneath could soon be banned in the southern US city of Atlanta, a city council spokesman said Friday.


“Many youngsters are walking around with their pants way, way below their waists, and you can see everything. Some people call it a fad or a fashion statement but it is simple indecency,” Dexter Chambers, the communications director at Atlanta City Council, told AFP by phone.


“A proposal to change the city code in terms of indecency will go before the public safety legal administrative committee on Tuesday for discussion,” he said.

We tried to see Superbad yesterday. It was horrible. We walked out 20 minutes into it. That was only the second movie I've ever walked out on. I don't recall what the other one was. It was so bad I actually thought about demanding my money back, but it's not the theater's fault that whoever decided to write, direct, and/or produce this movie made the mistake of thinking they could. It was utterly boring.

It's actually a little bigger than that. Having exposed boxers or thongs would be banned.

So then they'd have to ban shorts, because there's no difference in boxer shorts and shorts. Unless they mean that since the boxers are touching the naughty bits, they're special. Then they'd have to ban going commando, and I could never visit Atlanta again.

Dallas was thinking of trying the same crap. It didn't fly. They just ended up telling the cops to harass kids who are being twerps to everyone, which is what everyone wanted anyway.

I saw superbad last week, and was disappointed as well. I would have rather watched it on the USA network at midnight, but hey.
