US town set to ban saggy trousers (BBC)
A mayor in the US state of Louisiana says he will sign into law a proposal to make wearing saggy trousers an act of indecent exposure.

Delcambre town council unanimously passed the ordinance earlier this week making it a crime to wear trousers that show underwear.

"If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine" of US$500 (£254) Mayor Carol Broussard said.

Offenders will also risk up to six months in jail.

Fashionable

Speaking of people who wear saggy trousers, Mr Broussard told the Associated Press news agency: "They're better off taking the pants off and just wearing a dress."

You can see this one coming ... how long before they stop wearing underwear? And who will fix my household appliances, if all the repairmen are in jail for showing butt crack?

2. Indecent exposure for showing your underwear?
What about all those Victoria's Secret commercials and the Fruit Of The Loom guys?
