Atlanta cracking down on "Saggy Pants"

Apparently in the midst of one of the worst economic conditions in modern times, the city of Atlanta is demonstrating its ability to focus on the immediate problems by raising the issue of exposed underpants to the public attention. Currently the city is about to put up legislation that would make wearing baggy pants illegal.

Whereas, the dress fad of wearing log hanging/saggy pants which expose one's underwear is becoming a major concern for communities, cities, and states around the country [. . .]

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to appear in public wearing pants below the waist which exposes the skin or undergarments.

(b) Any person convicted of violating the provisions of this section shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $100.00 plus up to eight hours of work on the public streets of the city
