Atlanta considers banning baggy pants

Posted by cmoewes under Duh

If this is the way of the future, by the time Andrew is old enough to make decisions about clothes and music, the government should just about have everything wrapped up and we won’t have to do anything to raise him!!


ATLANTA - Baggy pants that show boxer shorts or thongs would be illegal under a proposed amendment to Atlanta’s indecency laws. The amendment, sponsored by city councilman C.T. Martin, states that sagging pants are an “epidemic” that is becoming a “major concern” around the country.

“Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it’s the in thing,” Martin said Wednesday. “I don’t want young people thinking that half-dressing is the way to go. I want them to think about their future.”

Posted by cmoewes under Duh, Humor

From the department of “Duhh”, researchers at Children’s hospotal in Boston have discovered that eliminating sugary drink can cause children to lose weight…. what… oh my god, are you saying that by decreasing the number of calories we eat, we can decrease our weight. My goodness, I can’t believe anyone else ever thoguht of that. Not to put all of this just on Children’s Hospital I am amazed at the amount of “research” that validates things that are so obviuous. In marketing news, if you target your customers better based on their past behavior you can get better results. DUHH.
