Wilmington Councilman To Waste Time, Money

Usually, when people really care about stupid shit, it’s confined to them and their supporters. Take, for example, these people planning on a boycott of stores that sell toy guns. I, for one, cannot imagine caring about what kind of water pistols KB Toys sells. (When I hear people angry over toy guns at stores, I mainly think about whether products such as, say, the Nintendo Zapper would trigger a boycott.)

NBC 10’s Tim Furlong reports that “despite a September resolution from City Council asking stores to remove the guns from their shelves, some stores like KB Toys in the Franklin Mills Mall sell guns in all colors, shapes and sizes, including a realistic-looking machine gun and handgun purchased by Furlong.” Ooh, a toy gun sting operation!

Okay, so Philadelphia City Council did pass a resolution, but those people waste time like it’s their job. (Because it is.) But it wasn’t binding and KB Toys was free to continuing selling Super Soakers and more realistic-looking toys, too. But that’s not the case in Wilmington, where a City Councilman is planning on banning saggy pants.

Much like the councilwoman in Trenton who proposed similar legislation, the proposed ordinance would fine people up to $250 for pants that this one councilman didn’t like the style of. His reasoning is not the weird saggy-pants-are-a-gateway-drug argument in some locales where this has popped up, but simply because… ah… well, let’s let the councilman, Mike Brown, explain:

Brown defended his stance by saying, “Listen, I know under the first amendment everybody has their rights, but i have rights too.”

Although the right to wear saggy pants (the 22nd Amendment) is being eroded, fortunately we still have a lot of other of our civil liberties. Well, okay, hmm. How’s this: Fortunately, I can still make fun of this dude proposing the law online. It’ll be debated next month, which I can only assume will be completely awesome.

    I guess his rights are more important than the remainder. I am glad for the fact that I live North of Jesus Land.

    You’re counting Willmington, PA as Jesus Land? How far North do you live, exactly?

    Wilmington is well North of what you call ‘Jesus Land’. This city councilman is an embarrassment, to be sure. But for god’s sake don’t go around calling Wilmington, DE “Jesus Land”. It just makes you sound like a fool. MAPS… Use ‘em, learn.. it’s fun.

    Jesusland? Maps? Where, exactly, would I find “Jesusland” on a U.S. map? The entire premise is absurd, as well as the comments. If, based on this article, the South is Jesusland, then I have to presume that the North is Idiotland.

    No, I don’t think you understand. The entire U.S.A. is JesusLand. It’s like a themepark based on Jesus, except with guns and nuclear missiles.
