Don’t Be Caught With Your Pants Down

The Will Do Tumblr is just going to be quick links and stupid photos and one-liners; shorter stuff than what’s here. (Don’t worry; I’m far too lazy to change anything here.) Anyway, sometimes I’ll have to share things, like the above infographic from the Detroit Free Press.

“Some people call it a fad,” [Police Chief David] Dicks told the Free Press this week while patrolling the streets of Flint. “But I believe it’s a national nuisance. It is indecent and thus it is indecent exposure, which has been on the books for years.”

On June 27, the chief issued a departmental memorandum telling officers: “This immoral self expression goes beyond freedom of expression.” The crime, he says, is disorderly conduct or indecent exposure, both misdemeanors punishable by 93 days to a year in jail and/or fines up to $500.

Immoral self expression. That’s what they called another “fad,” pogs, too. And you know how much damage they did to our society.

Oh, and this:

Dan Henson knows all about the style of sagging. He’s a manager at Mr. Alan’s clothing store in Hamtramck and a former sagger himself. He said customers frequently come in to buy large-fitting pants that sag.

“I stopped when I was around 21,” he said of wearing his pants low.

I assume if this were on TV, the graphic would read, “Dan Henson. Former Sagger.”
