Now HERE's something I agree with!
Mayor Carol Broussard said he would sign an ordinance the town council (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22town+council%22&sid=breitbart.com) approved this week setting penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine for being caught in pants that show undergarments or certain parts of the body.
Broussard (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=broussard&sid=breitbart.com) said he has nothing against saggy pants but thinks people who wear them should use discretion. "It's gotten way out of hand out here," he said.
Albert Roy (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=roy&sid=breitbart.com), the councilman who introduced the ordinance, said he thought the fine was a little steep and should be more in the $25 range, but he still favored the measure.
"I don't know if it will do any good, but it won't hurt," Roy said. "It's obvious, and anybody with common sense (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22common+sense%22&sid=breitbart.com) can see your parts when you wear sagging pants."
Broussard's advice for people who like their pants to hang low: "Just wear it properly. Cover your vital parts. I mean, if you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine. If you walk up and your pants drop, you get a fine. They're better off taking the pants off and just wearing a dress."
