I doubt it will work.

But, I appreciate the effort.

After the BPP blogged NPR's original report on the public service announcement, listeners objected to lyrics they consider homophobic.

I guess they don't mind songs that are mysogynistic, or encourage violence against police officers, though.

What will be interesting to see is how many young men start hiking their pants back up.

"The campaign has a signature song, "Pull Your Pants Up," by Dooney Da' Priest, that links so-called saggin' with being gay."

LoL! That's one way of getting these kids to pull their pants up, and start shopping for the right sized clothes.

Sagging was in like 15 years ago. Can’t they get with the times? Now just baggy clothes are in style with men. No men want to see other men’s boxers/underwear unless they like other men. AT that point it’s not a fashion statement but a sexual orientation AND sex drive statement.

[Clemenza]

I've been trying to do the same thing with the Confederate Flag for YEARS!

[Clemenza]

Another thing, between the posing, the hatred of women, the bragging about solidarity with one’s homies, rap lyrics are kinda gay...

[thefactor]

hmmm...i had heard that wearing pants low was, in fact, from prison. but the implication was that you were the property of another inmate. effectively, that you were someone's "bitch".

and i heard this from guys who were actually in prison.

[Vinnie]

When I see some doof with baggy pants I chuckle.
Reminds me of the good ole days and one of my kids with a ‘load’ in their diaper.

[Global2010]

Dooney explained that saggin' comes from jail, where he argued that showing your boxers has a very particular meaning. "You're letting another man know that you're available
================================= Well I was under the impression that prison sex was not homosexual love it was just part of the power play of livin' like dogs.

[Mr. Mojo]

that links so-called saggin' with being gay.

If that perspective catches on it's the most sure-fire way to get both the thugs and the wannabes to pull up their pants.

[rawcatslyentist]

I actually saw a saggy baggy the other day. Laughed my a$$ off. That had to be the stoopidist example of a waste of intelect I have ever seen.

Who cares if they want to look like what they are showing? Like the Elvis sideburns of the 70's, it'll come back to haunt them.

[RichInOC]

“Eazy! Hey Eazy!”
“Whassup?”
“Why you wear your pants like that?”
“I wear my pants like this...for easy access, baby.”

[NormsRevenge]

no wonder so many hip hop’n rappers are in jail or the morgue, they can’t run with their pants damn near ‘round their knees

When I see some doof with baggy pants I chuckle.

One day I was walking out of a local mall to my car.
I was walking behind and to the side of this kid,
wearing saggy-baggie shorts (crotch between his knees)
with the striped boxers showing 6" above. I chuckled
(quietly) and got into my car.

He approached a car in the next row, and was looking all
around, (suspicious!!) then he unlocked the car door,
opened it (still looking all around) and stepped just
inside the open door, grabbed the waistband of his shorts
and wiggled and pulled the shorts up to his armpits...
so he could get into the car.

I laughed my ass off as I drove away. So if this kid
became a gun-toting drive-by killer, it's all because
some short redheaded chick at the mall damaged his
fragile ego, twisting his mind to embrace a life of crime..
or he could have gone to law school :)
