Push for pulled-up pants protested
ATLANTA — Striped underpants peeked out of 19-year-old Jae Cripe’s outfit as she took a stand Tuesday at an Atlanta City Council meeting next to a sign that proclaimed: “Clothes are not a crime.”
Across the crowded room, 76-year-old James Allen was making his own statement, talking about the start of a “belt brigade” that could one day patrol the streets to urge kids to pull up their baggy pants.
It was a snapshot of the brewing debate in Atlanta over a measure that would outlaw baggy pants that show boxer shorts or thongs. Offenders would risk a civil penalty — likely a fine — but no jail time, said the proposal’s sponsor, councilman C.T. Martin.
“We cannot continue to allow our community standards to go astray and not stand up,” he said.
Critics have claimed the measure is a new form of racial profiling that would allow police to target young black males who wear their pants far below the waist. The Associated Press

I went to a cook out this past summer. There was a girl there, in her early 20's, who had a pair of pants on with a short top. Her pants were so low that you could see her 'thong' underwear.
At the same cook out, there was a guy there, about 18, and he had big baggy shorts on that hung down to almost his crotch. So you could easily see his 'plaid boxers'! 8)
At this rate, instead of playing 'peek a boo', just wear the plain damn underware with no clothes to cover them!!!
