Hey, Keep Your Pants On

Virginia lawmakers with too much time on their hands:
RICHMOND - Underwear-exposing teens are one step closer to a $50 fine after a
bill from Del. Algie T. Howell, D-Norfolk, received preliminary approval in the
House of Delegates on Monday.

Howell’s bill, HB1981, calls for fines for anyone who intentionally wears or displays their underwear in a “lewd or indecent manner.”

It’s not an attack on baggy pants. It’s not about Janet Jackson. It’s not about Randy Moss,” Howell said. “When a person gets to the point that he or she doesn’t want to sit on the porch because of the way people are dressed, it’s time to do something.”

Many delegates agreed.

Most of us would identify this as the coarsening of society,” said Del. John S. Reid, R-Richmond. “Underwear is called underwear for a reason.”

I can't wait for the court challange that forces the state to define "underwear". And when are these guys going to pass plumber ass-crack legislation?
