POLITICS: Pull Up Them Drawers, Kid!

Next time you're driving up the East coast, make sure to pull up your pants when you enter Virginia.

The Virginia house voted 60-34 to outlaw sagging your pants. Yes, you read that correctly: the Virginia House is on it's way to outlawing a fashion.

The bill is being accused of being anti-black. Delegate Lionell Spruill points out:

It's this voter's opinion that it is not the government's place to outlaw fashions that they just don't like.

The bill still has to pass the senate.

That is fucking stupid. Obviously.

all the old people at the liqor store were really happy... wut!!!! virginia has the kindness police in the summer and anti everything on every other season.. its virginia...

You gotta love the south.

And yes, if you're south of DC and not California...you're the south.

I remember teachers yelling at us to pull up pur pants 12 years ago. They seem kind of late on this one if you ask me.

Jesus, there's already high schools who send girls home if a teacher sees a hint of a bra strap. What's next? Not being able to show a little T-back, or maybe even outlawing the display of ankles again?

hate to be the kill joy (not really it is actually kinda fun) but it was killed today in the senate.

Wow. I guess that means in Virginia there really is such a thing as the "fashion police".

Damn. I was hoping that the end of "plumber's butt" was at hand . . .

They already dropped the issue.

damn...i was hoping it would help me win the tight girls pants versus baggy britches debate in the skinny boys group

droopy drawers now....droopy drawer forevah!!!!

I gotta say... Freedom of expression is awesome, but I'm not actualy this opposed to the idea.

Hahaha....if they were going to go after the saggy pants, they should have gone after the Britney Spears' bad jeans look too. That and wearing white socks with sandals.

oooh and white jeans after laborur day

Goddamn. That is beyond stupid. Waaay beyond the level of stupidity I thought was possible.

Want to hear something funny? Republican talking head Rich Galen has come out against this legislation.

Want to hear something hilarious?
The sponsoring legislator was a Democrat.

I was just thinking this... I was actually wondering how to get them to do it out here....

they should outlaw those beanies that have a bill like a cap. those things are fucking annoying.

this is from the state that also wants you to report your miscarriage to the police
no offense to it's residents, but virginia is stupid.

Well, at least the Virginia senate has some sense. You know that all the Britney wannabe white girls with their thongs/cracks showing knew they would never have any hassles from the VA police.

If you're in DC, you're the south.

Worst mistake in American history = allowing the rebel states to rejoin the Union.
