In the wake of Janet Jackson at last years superbowl, and the right taking a further grip on america.... whats going to happen next?

Is, as opponents claim, this just an attack on black culture?

That's kind of crazy, because I usually see overweight white girls rocking the visible thong look.

Just another example of how the Belt Industry controls the legislative process in America.

Haha leon.

Who the hell's saying it's an attack on black culture? It's an attack on ALL culture.

Maybe folks can strike a compromise & be allowed to wear low-riding jeans outfitted w/ a chastity belt.

Better yet - GO COMMANDO!

But seriously if I fined everyone who offended my aesthetic sensibilities I'd be clocking mad dollars every day. The visible underwear kind of lame and off-putting look, but not more so than many others.

I'm waiting for the bible belt to hit stores. It would be similar to a chastity belt, the good book obscuring any salacious parts.

But Delegate Lionell Spruill, a Democrat, objected, calling it "a foolish bill".

"Coarse" as in scratchy?

Plumbers on notice!

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

This is 100% accurate for me as well.

oh no guys! delete that underwears thread right now before it's too late!!

Surely they should be pouring money into the mystery regarding how said trousers stay up and defy gravity. A past colleague told me that his stayed up because of his massive erection. I failed to find any hard evidence to support this claim.

― alix (alix), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

why, did you do a thorough search by hand for any?

― Kingfish MuffMiner 2049er (Kingfish), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

well if THOSE hands couldn't find anything i doubt any others could

It seems to me that the largest population of underwear-exposers in America would be TEENAGERS/YOUNGUNS. The people that are going to end up paying these fines are PARENTS, not RAPPERS, asshats.

"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.

So when can we start fining, I don't know, adulterous congresspersons? Senators making blatantly racist/sexist remarks? LYING PRESIDENTS?

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes I searched thoroughly whilst he wasn't looking. With my fat hands.

― alix (alix), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

If you have to TELL someone your pants are held on by your massive erection, there's a good chance there is nothing MASSIVE about it whatsoever.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

did you snag his wallet, at least?

US state backs fines for 'coarse' visible underwear

Is a US state anything like an ATM machine?

I can see the signs near the borders of Maryland, D.C., North Carolina, West Virginia, and Tennessee right now....

There goes my idea for a line of burlap thongs.

OK I can't possibly be the only person who noticed the accompanying graphic for the story was a man, most of which do not wear thongs.
