I can see your butt!

What is the deal with young men wearing their pants around their thighs?Why do I, or you for that matter, need to see someone's butt?It seems to be a fashion thing? Or hopefully just some stupid trend, but where did it start? Who is responsible for this? Most importantly, how can we stop it?Is it just me? am I the only only one who doesn't get this and wants it to stop?Why is it just young men? Why aren't young girls out walking around with their pants below their ass's? Is that unacceptable?I think I first noticed baggy pants when rollerblading was all the rage. Kids would wear their knee pads under their baggy pants. Seem legit enough. Safety first right. But more recently, I have been watching cops ( I absolutely love cops! All sorts of stupid people gathered together in one 30 min. show. You just can't beat that.) and noticing the people who try to run are pumping wildly with their one arm, and trying to hold up their pants with the other. That's just quality entertainment !Another bit of good entertainment is being behind one of these fools in line at a store. Cell phone in one hand, belt loop in the other. I think to myself, "0o0o0o....What's he gonna do? end the call? hell no, at 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday, in wal-mart....oh no....That's probably a business call. Is he going to drop the belt loops and have his pants hit the floor? " The suspense is getting to me at this point. More then likely its, cell phone on the shoulder and a handful of crumpled 20's and 50's. Then " Yo dog, lemme hit you up lata" and the transaction is completed. No partial nudity whatsoever.What's the point? Why for Petes sake would you want to show whoever might be looking in your general direction your butt? Especially if your some skinny young man WITH NO BUTT ?If its a fashion thing, I would like to see it cross the gender barrier.That's all I'm sayin.

Icky, I think you may be on to something here. Why HASN'T this crossed the gender line?

Anyway, next time some guy is in front of me in line to get on the bus and I've got what basically amounts to his underwear in my face because his pants are belted around his hips, I'm going to snap the waistband of his undies.

That's all I'M sayin'.
