Via Hit & Run:

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." The bill’s author, Delegate Algie T. Howell Jr. (D-Norfolk), explained that "it’s not an attack on baggy pants….To vote for this bill would be a vote for character, to uplift your community and to do something good not only for the state of Virginia, but for this entire country."

A link to the actual bill would be useful. As far as I can tell from the Washington Times article, the law prevents you from to showing your tightie-whities above the waistband.

I assume this means Virginians can still wear their traditional daisy-dukes, cut-off short-shorts and cheerleader outfits, and otherwise show off their underwear below the waistband. I also assume they can still rip the seats of their jeans (if that fashion hasn’t passed by now) or forgo undies altogether.

Finally, will rural Virginians have to button their overalls up the sides? If so expect some backlash.
