It's a fashion that started in prison, and now the saggy pants craze has come full circle - low-slung street strutting in some cities may soon mean run-ins with the law, including a stint in jail.
Proposals to ban saggy pants are starting to ride up in several places. At the extreme end, wearing pants low enough to show boxers or bare buttocks in one small Louisiana town means six months in jail and a $500 fine. A crackdown also is being pushed in Atlanta.

The law in that town in Louisiana is a tad extreme. :)
I felt fer sure saggy pants were on the way out when Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” poked fun at them way back in ‘95.
Little did I know how durable the fashion would be.
The gangsta types will just find some other silly way to dress in any event. Then everybody will have to pass a law against the new fad.
And stirrup pants worn with flats.
And fat chicks who wear low slung jeans with their bisquits essploding over the top should go dierectly to prison without even passing Go.
