Dr. Phil and baggy pants.

So, I have this little habit that I don't often admit to and it is this: I watch Dr. Phil.

Today I'm watching an episode about legislation in 12 states to ban baggy pants.

.... what the hell? Do people have nothing better to do than try to legislate what and how people dress?

They're just pants... who cares?

I admit that I have giggled at one particular person who was playing pool and his pants kept nearly falling down (and he kept adjusting them) - but if he wants to deal with it, then so be it.

As a note, this intrigued me, so here are some links:

• ABC News: Atlanta Moves to Ban Baggy Pants
• NPR: Baggy Pants Ban Signed into Law in Louisiana
• NPR: Sagging Pants in East Cleveland
• Dallas, too
• USA Today Article

and there are many pages more in this Google Search.

Baffling.
