No underwears please, we are ultra-moralist Americans!!
I thought such things would only happen somewhere in the middle east! Well.. how America is changing – it is becoming very much like the Taliban ruled state. Now, no part of underwear can be exposed in public.. not even a bra strap .. or boxers under sagging jeans. This ordinance has already been passed in a few cities.. now it comes to Atlanta.
Exposed boxer shorts and thongs would be illegal in any public place in Atlanta if the City Council approves a proposed amendment to the city’s indecency laws.
The target is young men who wear their pants low off their hips to show off the two pairs of boxers they wear beneath their saggy pants, said Atlanta Councilman C.T. Martin, a college recruitment consultant who sponsored the ordinance. Saggy pants are an "epidemic" that are becoming a "major concern" in cities and states around the country, the ordinance reads.
"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."
Under the proposed ordinance, women also couldn’t reveal the strap of a thong beneath their pants. Nor could they wear jogging bras in public or show off even a wisp of a bra strap, said Debbie Seagraves, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia.
The proposed ordinance states that "the indecent exposure of his or her undergarments" would be unlawful in a public place. It would go in the same portion of the city code that outlaws sex in public and the exposure or fondling of genitals and the breast of a woman. Martin said the penalty would be a fine in an amount to be determined.
