Baggy pants outlawed in Louisiana town

Back when I was in junior high, and baggy pants were cool, I remember adults used to hate the way they sagged halfway down our "backsides." However, beyond complaining, there wasn't much they could do about it.

But one town in South Louisiana has just changed all that, by making sagging, baggy pants against the law. Now, in the town of Delcambre, you can be fined $500 or face 6 months if your underwear is showing.

The state already has laws against indecency laws that prohibit exposed private parts, so it's not like the concept is completely out of left field. That said, this new law seems to take the concept to a ridiculous extreme.

So, for those of you that still wear pants that hang off your butt, let this be a warning. Steer clear of Delcambre, or you might get picked up by the fashion police.
