BARRINGTON, R.I. (WPRI) — In just a short amount of time, more than 100 women have made plans to wear yoga pants and march in a parade down a street in Barrington.
The parade comes in response to a Barrington Times letter to the editor written by a town man about his dislike for yoga pants.
The backlash to Barrington resident Alan Sorrentino’s letter came almost immediately, with many women taking offense and sharing their feelings on social media and the Barrington Times website.
WPRI’s news partners at The Providence Journal spoke to the woman who organized the event and she said she was half-joking when she first mentioned a parade.
“As a joke, I said I have extra pairs everyone can borrow. Let’s go have a parade,” Erin Johnson said in an interview with the Journal. “I thought it would be funny if everyone went and protested in yoga pants, everyone over 20.”
The “Yoga Pants Parade” is planned for Sunday at 2 p.m. on Sorrentino’s street.
As a red-blooded male; I LOVE Yoga pants and want to shake the inventors hand.
As a father; I HATE yoga pants and want to choke-slam the inventor.
Yoga pants are the greatest invention ever.
Silly Women,
Walking down the street,
Silly Women
With Yoga Pants to meet,
Silly Women.
Another truth teller to face protests this election season..hah
Women wearing yoga pants who shouldn’t be are cringeworthy regardless
I hope Alan is gay and doesn’t want women in his life, LOL.
what if he objected to nude women marching through town ???
His plan is working perfectly. Those girls don’t suspect a thing!
I wonder if that guy has an mortal enemy who forged that letter in his name.
And what a slow town for them to have nothing better to print. Typical journalist just trying to stir the pot.
Barrington,R.I. is a VERY nice town.
.
Not a Walmart shopper, I take it.
Looks like its more the presentation of the yoga pants, not the pants themselves, that’s eating him
If they were the same ones he’s referring to that are wearing yoga pants, I’m pretty sure he’d pass on it.
Let’s face it...would you really want to see Hillary in yoga pants? Let alone nekkid.
“Yoga pants are the bacon of clothing!”
Uh oh, a man said “no” to a liberal woman about her looks.
That savage abuse cannot be tolerated in a free society.
Yoga pants are weight sensitive. Some should, many should not.
And at the same time, Yoga pants are the worst invention ever.
Spandex is a privilege, not a right. That goes double for yoga pants.
And before you get all huffy with me, I'm going to plant an image in your brain:
HILLARY CLINTON IN YOGA PANTS
Think about it.
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does there’s no in-between
Your either with it on the ball or you’ve blown the scene
I can see lookin’ at you, you just can’t get settled
How can I even move, twistin’ like a pretzel
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs
Pull my arms a lot
How did I get so tied up
In this yoga knot
You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious
When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall
A simple yoga exercise done by one and all
Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown
Yoga’s sure to catch you if you come falling down
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
(Yoga is, yoga does)
(There’s no in-between)
(Your either with it all the way) Or you’ve blown the scene
(Or you’ve blown the scene)
NOW THAT SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD!
