    Bill sets fine for low-riding pants
    Wednesday, February 9, 2005 Posted: 10:04 AM EST (1504 GMT)

    RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- 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."

    Del. Lionell Spruill Sr., a Democrat who opposed the bill, had pleaded with his colleagues to remember their own youthful fashion follies.

    During an extended monologue Monday, he talked about how they dressed or wore their hair in their teens. On Tuesday, he said the measure was an unconstitutional attack on young blacks that would force parents to take off work to accompany their children to court just for making a fashion statement.

    "This is a foolish bill, Mr. Speaker, because it will hurt so many," Spruill said before the measure was approved 60-34. It now goes to the state Senate.

    The bill's sponsor, Del. Algie T. Howell, has said constituents were offended by the exposed underwear. He did not speak on the floor Tuesday.

    Spruill and Howell, also a Democrat, are both black.

    Geez...

    Why don't we ban cyclists' outfits? Those are the tighest little shorts I've ever seen and man can you see the twig and berries in those.... Now that's obscene... (lol, I went to spinning class last night and am still horrified at the sights I was forced to see).

    Okay, I think that I found a loophole already: What is the offending party isn't wearing any underpants?

    Although I'm sure there's another law against that.

    Apparently they felt this ban, which quite borders on unconstitutional anyway, was focused on black youth. Which I really don't see, I see a lot more white youth with their underwear hanging out.
    My bf pointed out: What about beaches??

    I think the ban is stupid, but I was hoping for this fashion trend to go away anyway, those plaid boxer shorts really aren't that attractive.

    actually.... I wouldn't mind seeing this fashion trend disappear myself, but I'd be thoroughly pissed if it impacted the use of low cut jeans

    I have seen this on the news. Yes, this also goes for the girls with too-low riding jeans. If any underclothing can be seen in the pants area, then you can get fined.

    Yeah, this is ridiculous. I definitely don't like the whole saggy-ass pants look, but I love low-rider jeans. I think no one should control what people wear but themselves.

    Between this and certain employers prohibiting their employees from smoking WHEN THEY'RE NOT AT WORK, it seems like lawmakers are becoming more and more like dictators. Blah.

    Fook 'em all.

    LOL Deogol.. I just find it unreal that most of the companies are going so far as to have mandatory "nicotine use" testing. Which I suppose, is a kind of breathalyzer or something. I read in an article that a few employees refused and were fired on the spot.

    Heil!

    i saw that as well, Rhia. they said it was due to the increased cost of group healthcare if any of the employees smoked. i think they gave them a week to quit or something like that. or otherwise, yup...they got fired. craziness. this makes me want to wear baggy pants with a thong stickin' out of my hairy ass crack with lit cigarettes tucked in the waistband.

    If it's a fat ass hanging out of the pants, then a $50 fine seems appropriate.

    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    LOL CO.. I'm in total agreement on the whole saggy pants of fat asses where we're forced to view their underoos.

    I'm even agreeing in some cases of the low-rider jeans. Some people think they can pull off wearing them, but they don't realize (or just flat-out don't care) that they have a gut hanging over and massive backfat. I saw something like that at the mall once. I haven't been the same since. It was horrid.

    If you can't look good in something like that, you should definitely be fined if you attempt to wear it anyway.. lol

    I wonder if this could be used against dancers. It does seem obviously targetted towards "hip hop culture", in the same way that wearing all black after Columbine made you the target of police attention, but there are a lot of dangerous ways this law could be interpreted.

    For instance, as a dancer, if you're not in a private, (membership-only), club, you're technically in "public", and if you're wearing nothing but a g-string, that definately counts as showing your underwear.

    Ditto if you go to a nightclub.

    My question . . . Is it still "lewd or indecent" if you're wearing the underwear on your head? What if it's clean underwear, would that make a difference?

    Hey anything can happen. Besides some politicians actually have to come up with new laws in between voting for their own pay raises.

    I would miss seeing an attractive woman wearing her low riders too, but it would probably spare the rest of us from seeing some people who should definitely not be wearing them too.

    What needs to outlawed is running shorts. You know you've had that custy, who thinks if it fall out of his running shorts you're just going to drop to your knees and worship it. It's wrong I tell you.

    At least this hasn't become law yet. Supposedly Virginia already has some dumb ones on the
    books:

    No animal may be hunted for on Sunday with the exception of raccoons, which may be hunted until 2:00 AM.
    Not only is it illegal to have sex with the lights on, one may not have sex in any position other than missionary.
    There is a state law prohibiting "corrupt practices of bribery by any person other than candidates."
    Driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited.
    Citizens must honk their horn while passing other cars.
    Children are not to go trick-or-treating on Halloween.

    claims that they will give 100 dollars worth of free underwear to whoever receives (and proves) a violation charge.

    Virginia Senate drops droopy-pants bill

    Showing underwear would have earned $50 fine
    Thursday, February 10, 2005 Posted: 6:43 PM EST (2343 GMT)

    RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- Virginia lawmakers dropped their droopy-pants bill Thursday after the whole thing became just too embarrassing.

    The bill, which would have slapped a $50 fine on people who wear their pants so low that their underwear is visible in "a lewd or indecent manner," passed the state House on Tuesday but was killed by a Senate committee in a unanimous vote.

    Republican Sen. Thomas K. Norment said news reports implied that lawmakers were preoccupied with droopy pants.

    "I find that an indignation, which dampens my humor," Norment said.

    Republican Sen. Kenneth Stolle, the committee chairman, called the bill "a distraction."

    The committee hearing drew a standing-room-only crowd that included about 75 government students from Surry County High School.

    "If people in Florida can wear bikinis, a little underwear showing isn't going to hurt anybody," 17-year-old Elvyn Shaw said.

    The bill's sponsor, Democratic Delegate Algie T. Howell, declined to answer reporters' questions Thursday but issued a statement saying the bill "was in direct response to a number of my constituents who found this to be a very important issue."

    He has said the constituents included customers at his barber shop who were offended by exposed underwear

    My friend and I had a bikini car wash. Maybe that was illegal, like showing your undies in public?
