Underwear Outlawed In Another US Town
Fashion criminals in Delcambre, Louisiana face up to six months in jail
under new laws which outlaw public display of underwear, the BBC
reported this week.
"This is a new ordinance that deals specifically with sagging pants,"
Delcambre attorney Ted Ayo told Associated Press, "It's about showing
off your underwear in public."
Mayor Carol Broussard warned miscreants they face further fines of $500
and suggested 'they're better off taking the pants off and just
wearing a dress'.
The town's no knicker ban matched similar legislation drawn up in
Virginia in 2005, when councillors introduced what became known as the
"droopy drawers" bill though local politician Algie T Howell was more
circumspect when introducing the law.
"It's not an attack on baggy pants," Mr Algie stressed when outlining
the details of the 'below-waist undergarment' ban.
"To vote for this bill would be a vote for character, to uplift your
community and to do something good not only for the state of Virginia,
but for this entire country," he added.
In more cover up news, a new protest group in Spain launched a campaign
to ban 'skimpy bikini bottoms and thongs' from beaches along the Costa
Blanca this week, with topless bathing also something they hope to
eradicate.
"As things stand at the moment, children are having to see things they
are yet to be taught by their families," Maribel Martinez, president of
the Family Beaches group told the Metro newspaper.
'We have already got nudist beaches and beaches where smoking is
banned. Why can't we set aside beach areas for the enjoyment of families?"
she proposed.
