Pants on the ground...

A New York senator has used $2000 of his campaign funds to throw these billboards up around Brooklyn. Senator Eric Adams is urging young men to put a stop to this fashion trend which he believes sends the wrong message.

I personally never gave much thought to this before learning where the saggy pant trend originated...PRISON! Prison uniforms are often too large for inmates and since belts are prohibited (because of the suicide risk) pants naturally sag a little low. Apparently this is not the only reason for the sagging pants in prison. If an inmate wears their pants below their butt it sends the signal to other prisoners that they are homosexual and open to the idea of a little "action".


I wonder how many men would pull up their pants if they knew this was how the trend started ;)


This all just makes me want to sing "Pants on the ground"
