Saving the Children from ... the Refrigerator Repair Man?
Appliance repair men take notice:
By a vote of 60 to 34, the Virginia House of Delegates has approved a bill that would fine people $50 for wearing low-riding pants that show off their underwear in a "lewd or indecent manner."
I presume fines are doubled if an actual butt-crack is revealed.
UPDATE: Looks like the (especially the bottom photo).
Doug Murray:
The text of the bill only refers to underwear. As for butt cracks, no underwear, no fine.

Nothing better for them to do? Virginians should get their money back from the legislature for that "day's work".

Maybe there's another law already on the books that would deal with low-riders and no underwear. However, I foresee the author of this bill coming in for plenty of ridicule - if his opponent at the next election describes it as "a law banning underwear", it wouldn't be distorting the truth as much as a lot of campaign ads do...
