You may see Paris, you may see France, but in Delcambre, Lousiana, you won’t see underpants.
In an attack on baggy trousers, the Mayor is signing an ordinance that imposes a possible 6 month jail sentence and hefty fine for those who wear baggy pants that expose their underwear.
Albuquerque’s Mayor Marty just unilaterally prohibited smoking on all city property extended the no smoking ban to all city property — even outside (parks, bus stops). I’m no smoker and hate being around second-hand smoke, but I hate living in a nanny community more. Add the mayor’s smoking ban to redlight cameras, the APD party patrols, DUI roadblocks, cell phone bans and what do you have? When does nanny end and fascist begin?
This rates pretty high on the ridiculous scale. Even Emil Steiner over at OFF/beat dropped his coverage of the $54 million pants lawsuit to cover this “battle of the britches“! I don’t know if it’s about race but it’s certainly seems that way.
