Regulating Vicki and Joe

If you're not sure who Vicki and Joe are after reading this article, then you're hopelessly lost.

US politicians fed up with catching an eyeful of underwear want to fine those who won't hitch up their trousers.
The Virginia state house has voted to outlaw the trend of wearing trousers so low that underwear hangs over the top.

Delegates said the habit, popular across the US and in other Western countries, was "coarsening" society.

But others hit back, urging legislators to remember their own "fashion follies" and saying the law would be used mostly against black people.

The house adopted the "droopy drawers" bill by a margin of 60-34.

If the state senate also approves, youngsters in Virginia showing too much of their boxer shorts or G-strings could be fined $50 (£26).

Used mostly against black people? Everybody does this, black, white, "Chicano"... It's not confined to blacks or even primarily blacks. I personally think that a regulation such as this is inviting trouble; it's no less nanny-statish than San Francisco trying to regulate how much you feed your dog or what kind of dish you put its water in.

I do wish, however, that both men and women would pull their trousers up. A little panty peek can be kind of sexy on some girls, but it's gone too far.
