Florida State Sen. Gary Siplin's dream has been actualized; the state senate has passed his bill:
The Florida Senate wants public school students to pull up their pants. Lawmakers passed a bill Thursday that could mean suspensions for students with droopy britches.
It won't become law unless the House of Representatives passes a companion measure.
Florida could join several southern U.S. towns and cities that have passed "saggy pants" laws aimed at outlawing what some teenagers consider a fashion statement -- wearing pants half way down their buttocks, exposing flesh or underwear.
It's about time. Something must be done about Florida's declining real estate market and the state budg.......what?
We're debating pants? Let's read further:
Despite being the butt of jokes, the bill's sponsor, Orlando Sen. Gary Siplin, a Democrat, has said the fashion statement has a back-story -- it was made popular by rap artists after first appearing among prison inmates as a signal they were looking for sex.
"All we're trying to do now is trying to inform folks that we have a fad now that does not have a very good origination," Siplin said. "We're trying to make an example in school," he added, saying it would help students get jobs and a degree.
Thank Baby Jeebus for Sen. Gary Siplin. If it weren't for his glorious bill, Florida's children would be striving to be sodomized in prison rather than getting an education.
But what do the children have to say?
So it's okay to bust a tiny sag with your plaid Abercrombie shorts, but def illegal if you can see Tweety Bird (which is code for black folk. Everyone knows black folk love Tweety Bird. It's like the law or something.)
I immediately call on the friends of that anonymous student in the green shirt to denounce his racist underwear comments. A speech would be a good start. They have some explaining to do.
