Remember a few months ago when Dallas mayor pro tem Dwaine Caraway came up with the bright idea of passing a city ordinance banning saggy pants? The idea wasn’t exactly laughed away here, but suffice it to say that saner heads prevailed and today, Dallas has one less dopey, toothless ordinance than we could have had. In Lynwood, Ill., however, city leaders weren’t quite as thoughtful as our own here in Dallas — that city passed an ordinance fining saggy pants offenders $25 for anyone showing three inches of more of their underwear in public. Predictably, the ACLU has jumped into the fray, claiming that the ordinance targets "young men of color", even though I’ve seen a veritable rainbow of skin tones and underwear colors in my observation of the Texas trend. Anyway, young adults in Lynwood don’t like the ordinance, saying it infringes on their personal style. One prospective offender said the city, instead, should be focusing on making the area look better, assuming I suppose that looking at other peoples’ underwear somehow contributes to that goal.
