Delcambre and Opelousas, Louisiana have already outlawed it; Atlanta, Georgia and Shreveport, Louisiana are discussing the perils of plunging pants. Obviously a decent society has to draw the line somewhere and underwear is that line. It’s called underwear for a reason, goes the logic and nobody should have to look at it in public. Whether your pants are slipping down on boxers, whale tail or muffin top doesn’t matter, you might be breaking the law in a growing number of American cities.  When it comes to fashion, you can always be sure of two things.
The first is that each generation of young people will find a new way to offend their elders. The other is that grown-ups will try to stop them.
Today, the trend that offends is wearing baggy, drooping pants that ride around the thighs, the better to show off a young man’s taste in boxer shorts. And the grown-up who wants to stop it is Atlanta City Councilman C.T. Martin.
