Wearing "Those Pants" How It's Done

Please. I really want to know. In what fucking universe does anyone think this looks good?
And don't even get me going on tattooed chicks, and morons with hula hoops mutilating their earlobes.

I can never look at some guy wearing those kinds of pants without thinking of a toddler staggering along carrying a heavy load in his diaper.

Ah yes, the prison-bitch jailin' gangsta style. It's an acquired taste.

Exactly.

In the universe where 30 IQ points below average is the norm.

I've been wondering: what would happen if someone snuck up behind and pulled'em down around his ankles. I'm old and slow, but I bet even I could out-run him. I'm tempted everytime I see one of these dummies.

On the bright side, hard to flee the police and hold up your pants at the same time. Hard to flee your armed enemies holding up your pants. It's Darwinesque.

"It's an acquired taste."

Yeah. So how do we un-acquire it? Or make people in another country acquire ALL of it?

Somehow, I can picture Mr. Saggy Bottom singing this paean:

Who knew than Cotton Hill's short legs, ("I was machine gunned by the Japs. Shot my shins off!") could be passed on by casual contact. Heh.

Exactly. On their foreheads is this tatoo: MORON. ( Ink is invisible to the blind.)

Earlobes?

Been to a strip joint in recent years? Seen what the girls up on stage have been piercing?

Strip joint?
Would you go to a restaurant where all they let you do is smell the food?

Never been to one.

Running with one hand holding up the pants still leaves one hand to hold a pistol in the classic gangsta grip--AND it puts him off-balance enough to miss who he's shooting at and hit all those innocent bystanders!

Former Aussie rules football great and current Australian Meat And Livestock Association spokesman "Slammin' Sam" Kekovich has a way of dealing with teenagers who dress like this.

He condemns it as an example of "unAustralianism" and takes matters into his own hands at 0:33 through 0:38.

"You know it makes sense. I'm Sam Kekovich".

How has the discussion gone on so long without mentioning the Larry Platt American Idol audition?

Pants on the ground!

What I'm really wondering is which doctors will benefit from all the hip dysplasia that's bound to occur from having to walk with the knees together and the feet apart to keep the pants from totally falling off...
