"We are better than this!" and "Stop the Sag!" It is a shame that some young men don't realize how distasteful their sagging pants look to most people. New York state senator Eric Adams is so taken aback by this trend that he will announce Sunday the posting of six giant billboards in Brooklyn as a result. The billboards will be erected on Monday.

It is time these young people realize that no one will take them seriously, much less to give them a good job if they cannot dress more tastefully. It is just wrong when someone thinks it's okay for the general public to see their underwear. The sagging pants are such a distraction that they impede their walking abilities. It is time for the "stop-the-sag" movement to gain more traction. This ridiculous fad needs to come to an end.

"This whole sagging pants culture seems to have swept the city and the country," said Adams, a Democrat. "Children will be children. But as adults, we need to be on record and tell them they're doing something wrong." The 22-foot-tall billboards will be erected along heavily traveled streets, primarily in Crown Heights. Each billboard features two male models whose pants are hanging so low their underwear is showing. The message: "Stop the Sag!" and "We are better than this!" Source: NY Daily News

This disgusting fashion trend was reportedly started among prison inmates. Wow, young people aspiring to be just like criminals. There's something very wrong with that picture.
