RICHMOND, Va. Feb 8, 2005 — Virginians who wear their pants so low their underwear shows may want to think about investing in a stronger belt.
The state's House of Delegates passed a bill Tuesday authorizing a $50 fine for anyone who displays his or her underpants in a "lewd or indecent manner."

Ahhh... progress.

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

The people wearing their pants low are the least likely to have 50.00 to shell out for a fine...can't wait for all of the complication and compounded legal issues these people run into after the initial 50.00 fine goes unpaid.
No, Drog. Those laws would affect people old enough to vote.

I was at the grocery store the other day, this goob had his pants so far down you could see air gap between his trouser waistband and the crotch of his (dirty) boxers. They wouldn't let him in the store in a swimsuit, don't think this is any different.
Funny part was watching him try to walk with the crotch of his shorts below knee level

Im glad is was reversed. Any move toward a pantless society is a good one.
However, I would assume wearing your pants down to your knees is kinda ackward. Why not just tie a rubber band around your legs and walk like a penguin.
I was walking into a mall a couple of years ago and a mother dropped off her son. Just when he met up with his friends, she yells out, "Chris, you're not going inside until you pick your pants up! Pick them up right now!"
Kid could have crawled under a rock he was so embarassed. Everybody around the area started cracking up. Just a beautiful scene
It looks retarded for sure. Not something a person should be fined for though. If people want to go around looking like an asshole, it's their right. It's also businesses, schools, etc. right to not allow them in

Regardless it's pretty irrelevant.
Irrelevant.. But it's a slow day today.
I contend that if you go out of your way to make yourself look like a retard by wearing pants that hang half way down your ass, then yes, you are in fact a retard.
Does anyone know if wearing your pants low started soon after OJ's glove that didn't fit? Could it be a subconscious thing that if they commit a crime and lose their pants in the process, that they can claim they don't fit later on?
this is fucking disgusting, the government is enforcing a FUCKING DRESS CODE? I dont wear my pants like that but if i lived in VA i would go out of my way to do so at this point...one step closer to talibanism we are

Ya'll didn't hear this didn't actually make it into law?
The house passed it, the senate didn't.
