So they've finally gone and done it huh? The leaders of a suburb right outside of Chicago's southside, Lynwood Village, have passed an ordinance that would levy $25 fines against anyone showing three inches or more of their underwear in public.
Eugene Williams is the mayor of Lynwood. He says young men walk around town half-dressed, keeping major retailers and economic development away. He calls the new law a hot topic. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says the ordinance targets young men of color.
Young adults in the village, like 21-year-old Joe Klomes, say the new law infringes on their personal style. He says leaders should instead spend money on making the area look nicer. I somewhat agree with the law, to a certain extent. We shouldn't have to be subjected to looking at someone's underwear. I'm not talking about just the top of the underwear because ya'll know that some of these boys sag so damn hard that they have to walk with their legs spread out just to keep the pants up or they have to hold the pants. It's ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with a little sag in the pants. Of course we don't want to see our men with skin tight jeans on, but a reasonable amount of sag to wear there is enough leg room and enough room for your hinny and front parts to breathe.
I don't know how well this is going to work, but we shall see.
