Are Your Jeans Sagging? Go Directly to Jail.

JAMARCUS MARSHALL, a 17-year-old high school sophomore in Mansfield, La., believes that no one should be able to tell him how low to wear his jeans. “It’s up to the person who’s wearing the pants,” he said.

Mr. Marshall’s sagging pants, a style popularized in the early 1990s by hip-hop artists, are becoming a criminal offense in a growing number of communities, including his own.

Starting in Louisiana, an intensifying push by lawmakers has determined pants worn low enough to expose underwear poses a threat to the public, and they have enacted indecency ordinances to stop it.

Since June 11, sagging pants have been against the law in Delcambre, La., a town of 2,231 that is 80 miles southwest of Baton Rouge. The style carries a fine of as much as $500 or up to a six-month sentence. “We used to wear long hair, but I don’t think our trends were ever as bad as sagging,” said Mayor Carol Broussard.

An ordinance in Mansfield, a town of 5,496 near Shreveport, subjects offenders to a fine (as much as $150 plus court costs) or jail time (up to 15 days). Police Chief Don English said the law, which takes effect Sept. 15, will set a good civic image.

Behind the indecency laws may be the real issue — the hip-hop style itself, which critics say is worn as a badge of delinquency, with its distinctive walk conveying thuggish swagger and a disrespect for authority. Also at work is the larger issue of freedom of expression and the questions raised when fashion moves from being merely objectionable to illegal.

Sagging began in prison, where oversized uniforms were issued without belts to prevent suicide and their use as weapons. The style spread through rappers and music videos, from the ghetto to the suburbs and around the world.

I don’t know which people are the bigger idiots; the ones that think there should be laws to tell people how to dress, or the imbeciles that dress like this.

Seriously! WTF is wrong with you stupid-ass, dumb mother-fuckers!?!?! Not only do you look like a fucking retard, but you are emulating losers! Wake the fuck up.

The NY Times article referenced above says this style originated in prisons. Perhaps it did. I always thought it originated from poor black people that didn’t have enough money to buy clothes that fit properly. Either way, when you decide to dress like this on purpose, do you realize how idiotic you are for going out of your way to look like someone that might be poor or a criminal?

Obviously, I feel pretty strongly about this fashion style. I feel just as strong however, and think it is even more ignorant to tell people how to dress. Yes, we see their underwear, but it is boxers that still cover everything. This is not a matter of decency, where perhaps we are really seeing someone’s ass. (They are asses for dressing like this.) This is just a matter of people publicly displaying what complete fucking morons they are. I don’t like it either, but I am intelligent enough to know that once you go down the slippery slope of legislating if someone can wear saggy pants, we aren’t far from the point of forcing women to wear veils.

As Dr. Evil would say; "Why must I be surrounded by freakin’ idiots!"

Barnes & Noble Inc. has changed its mind about the new O.J. Simpson book.

After saying it would not stock copies of "If I Did It" in its stores, citing lack of customer demand, the chain told The Associated Press on Thursday that it would indeed carry the book.

Since the initial decision on Aug. 21 against stocking the book, but selling it online, Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said: "We’ve been monitoring the pre-orders and customer requests and have concluded that enough customers have expressed interest in buying the book to warrant stocking it in our stores. We do not intend to promote the book but we will stock it in our stores because our customers are asking for it."

For days Simpson’s book has been in the top 100 on Barnes & Noble.com and at one point even topped the best-seller list. "If I Did It" has also entered the top 100 on Amazon.com.

Simpson’s ghostwritten, hypothetical story of how he would have murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman was originally scheduled to come out last November, but HarperCollins pulled the book in response to near universal protests.

Over the summer, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to the book to Goldman’s family to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson. "If I Did It" will be published Sept. 13 by Beaufort Books on behalf of the Goldman family, which considers the book Simpson’s confession.

Simpson has maintained his innocence in the 1994 killings in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles. Acquitted of the murders in 1995 and currently living near Miami, he has disowned the book, saying he had little do with its creation. The ghostwriter, Pablo Fenjves, has disagreed, saying "If I Did It" is based on extensive discussions with Simpson.

I wouldn’t read it myself, but I hope the Goldman’s make a pile of money from it.

I found a picture showing the trail of bloody footprints and shockingly, the murdered body of Nicole Brown Simpson. I wasn’t going to publish it, but I changed my mind because I think it helps us realize what a brutal, evil crime this was, and what a total asshole OJ Simpson is. That fucker deserves to die the same way his victims did.

A friend of mine posed the question, “If you had to be stuck in a movie, meaning playing the lead character or maybe a supporting character, which movie would it be? Anything you would change in the story?”

I wasn’t sure how to answer this until I read someone else’s answer, “Anne Hathaway’s character in The Devil Wears Prada”, then I got my answer.

I would want to be Anne Hathaway’s boyfriend in The Devil Wears Prada. The part of the movie I would change would be that she is a total nymphomaniac and we have sex every day three times a day.

Anne Hathaway See Through

It seems like it’s Anne Hathaway Day here at Horndog. It may extend into Anne Hathaway weekend since it’s the Labor Day holiday weekend and my girlfriend says I should pay attention to her instead of working. Speaking of the GF, it’s not so bad watching movies your girlfriend might force you to watch. I wouldn’t have watched "The Devil Wears Prada" on my own because I figured it was a chick flick. The good news is that I discovered a new celebrity crush for myself in Anne Hathaway.

Here’s some more Anne Hathaway Pics for your enjoyment.

Larry Craig isn’t gay. Thank god cuz we don’t really want him to be. Ick. Now that he has told the country that he isn’t gay in a press conference, I am so relieved.

I don’t want him to be gay because he is such a pathetic figure. Bearing his outrage but not his shame before the cameras today. Fine Senator. Don’t be gay. There are lots of people who don’t identify as gay but DO have sex with guys (or women) sometimes. But those people usually don’t have the power to pursue discriminatory laws against gays and lesbians or promote hostile viewpoints towards us in the halls of Congress. We all have enough information about how hypocritical it would be if someone like Senator Craig were to actually BE gay and vote in such an anti-gay manner. I won’t bother making that point since I frankly don’t think voting to hurt people is justified no matter what your sexual orientation.

It was a fitting opening bash for Bon V, a new nightclub that takes its name from the French phrase for “good life.”

On Saturday night, a sparkling Carmen Electra, wearing a platinum-colored Jenny Packman dress and Neil Lane jewelry, toasted a crowd of 300 high-rolling partygoers.

Guests at the posh event, dubbed “Red Hot Midnight Kiss,” paid up to $10,000 for a VIP table; they also bid on high-end auction items including a $2,000 leather handbag from Tod’s and a raffle for diamond earrings donated by Trabert & Hoeffer.

Tennis star Maria Sharapova, of Russia, arrives at an auction hosted by Land Rover, Thursday, Aug. 23, 2007, in New York, with proceeds benefiting the Maria Sharapova Foundation.

Suddenly everything makes sense.

Anna Faris, 30, is a natural blonde. Anna Faris dyed her hair black during the production of Scary Movie (2000) and Scary Movie 2 (2001) so she could give her character, “Cindy Campbell”, a “Neve Campbellish-look”.

Well, she’s back to her natural blonde to play the role of Shelly, a Playboy bunny, who is tossed out of the mansion, and has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Tau Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide … 

Here’s Anna Faris in a tight top and short shorts taking a break from filming …
