While I agree that saggy pants look stupid, I don't think tax dollars need to be spent on it!
Granted this is in Dallas, but it's just an example of tax dollars being wasted

That is without a doubt the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Why does the city care how people dress?

Didn't Atlanta outlaw these same saggy pants? I know that some towns and cities have tried legislation against it.
I agree, it's about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I think my 19-year-old son looks stoopid when he lets his drawers hang out, but I don't think it should be ILLEGAL.

Wow. That's a great example of why slogans interfere with one's ability to think sometimes. If some kid is going to be influenced by a billboard that addresses an (non)issue like this, then that kid has got bigger problems than his pants. That kid should view that billboard as a chance to rail against general stupidity and try and make some kind of difference on his own. Make them question. Make them think about how Ludacris is a rapper and not an acceptable way to be a sheep.
If I had the kind of money, I would buy the next billboard in each area and say " Don't worry about your baggy pants - I don't. Just think for yourself. Try. Work at it. Life is not a rap lyric. Don't fall for it. No more rhymes now, I mean it. Anyone want a peanut? "
