State Rep. Derrick Shepherd said he filed the bill because he was tired of catching glimpses of boxer shorts and G-strings over the lowered belt lines of young adults.

I like how he blames the parents:
"I'm sick of seeing it," said Shepherd, a first-term legislator. "The community's outraged. And if parents can't do their job, if parents can't regulate what their children wear, then there should be a law."
That guy needs to have his head screwed on tighter, I don't think they got it tight enough the first time.
Wa wa wa, they must be bad parents cuz their kids are, god forbid, EXPRESSING THEMSELVES!!!

This guy's a newbie, and he proves it more and more every day: a while back, while Wesley Clark was still running for the Democratic nomination, he blew into N.O. for a campaign stop, and Shepard was one of the sponsors. Shepard said going in that he'd never met Clark, but felt like he'd "met him spiritually".
