Texas councilman: pull up those saggy pants

Dallas Councilman Dwaine Caraway is on a crusade against saggy pants.

As part of his ongoing campaign against saggy, underwear-exposing pants, the mayor pro tem held a summit Saturday. More than 100 adults, children, students, ministers, law enforcement officers and representatives from local organizations attended the hours-long derriere affair.

Local youth counselor Calvin Glover even brought a contingent of saggy bottom teens. The group piled into two elevators and made its way to the council chamber. Saggy britches, big belt buckles and untucked T-shirts were in abundance.

One 16-year-old, in defense of saggy pants said, “It's just a style. It looks good like that.”

A former saggy pants wearer said, “Come on, man, I don't want to see your dirty boxers that you've had on for two or three days. I mean, really.”
