Just make sure that they have no access to birth control. That and some heavy Bible-thumping should solve the problem in no time.

LMAO!!!! My favorite is the girls pants that are low and the tight shirts that are too short that expose that roll of fat over their hips. Tres chic! These kids are all too poor to own a mirror too. Oh the humanity!

Did you notice those poverty stricken rioters in Toledo? Their beltless daddy's pants were falling down so much they could hardly run from the police!

I'm an old guy and maybe a fuddy-duddy -- however, I was recently in a chain restaurant in suburbia and saw an 8 year old wearing a t-shirt that said, "Pimpin' Style" emblazoned across the front. When did this kind of thing become acceptable?

I love seeing that on "Cops". If I was going to commit a crime, I think I'd wear something that at least wouldn't hinder my hasty retreat from the authorities.

On another note, a couple of years ago I was horrified when I realized that I've become my parents. I saw some of these poor young men in their jeans and remarked to my wife how "slouchy" they looked. "Slouchy" is the term that my parents used for the way I wanted to dress in the early 70's.

If they have the later, they don't need the former.

They look like a busted can of biscuits, don't they?

This reminds me of a joke that Red Skeleton told that got him kicked off the radio for a time. He said that if these womens skirts get any shorter they are going to have two sets of lips to paint.

Poverty! I wonder about the ridiculous clothing styles worn by kids today – not at all like the socially acceptable DA haircuts and bouffant hairstyles worn when I was young. Or the tight blue jeans with 3”or 4” cuffs, or the T-shirt worn as outerwear with the mandatory pack of cigarettes rolled up in one sleeve.
We can’t forget the styles that came around in the mid 60’s and early 70’s with ragged bell bottoms, collarless shirts, granny dresses, long unkempt hair. Then there were the disco types with loud colors, Genuine Imitation Gold chains, platform shoes…
Anything to shock their elders.
Is the < /sarcasm> tag really needed?

I was at my son's high school football game Friday night and had to laugh at all the girls in "plumber's pants" leaning forward in the bleachers. They were constantly hitching their pants up to cover what shouldn't be exposed on the backside. How baffling.

I heard that syndrome referred to as a "muffin top". Great isn't it?

My kids are teens and can't stand the way girls dress. Even my 15 year old son is turned off by it. My kids call it a "flesh colored inner tube". I should by a can of that biscuit mix and show them what you're talking about. I haven't used those in so many years. It brought back memories of popping open that can, cause no matter wnat my mother did, she couldn't hit it right to open it. All she did was mangle the can. LOLOLOL.
