First Things First

It's nice to know that lawmakers in the United States have their priorities right. City Councilman C. T. Martin of Atlanta, Georgia has proposed an amendment to the city code that takes on one of the greatest threats facing American culture today -- visible underwear.

The ordinance would ban baggy pants that show boxer shorts, low-cut jeans that show thongs, visible bras, and other "indecent exposure of undergarments". Presumably, accidental displays of bra straps would result is a warning rather than a fine, but the news reports are not clear.

The American Civil Liberties Union has come out against the proposed ban. The Plumbers' Union has not yet commented.
