WTF?
Justice was soooo close. I could smell the tantilizing odour of righteousness coming from New York City. But alas, all is lost. All is lost. Weep with me. How low the CBC drawers me down:
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Wearing saggy trousers is not a crime, just foolish.
That’s how a New York City judge ruled in throwing out a summons issued to a man wearing low-slung trousers that exposed his underwear.
The New York Post reports that Judge Ruben Franco said that the summons appeared to be an attempt by one police officer to show his displeasure with the style.
The Bronx man, Julio Martinez, was issued the ticket on April 20.
The judge writes that many may find the low-slung trouser trend distasteful and foolish. But he says people can dress how they want as long as they do not offend public order and decency.
I have the joy of living with someone who likes wearing their jeans at their hips. Of all the amazingly stupid fashion trends there has been that irk me: sideways hats, leg-warmers, oversized sunglasses… this friends is my peeve. I have no idea why I would want to show my underwear to the rest of the public, it makes no sense.
What is worse that when you confront these people the best answer they can give is a blank look and a shrug of the shoulders and they look at me in their stunned bovine stupor as if I am the one asking a silly question.
Am I being unreasonable?
