The fabric of our society is crumbling as we watch, and no one seemed willing to step in and tackle the real problem we face as Americans, until Louisana’s Caddo Parish District 3 Commissioner Michael Williams made a bold, possibly unpopular, move to preserve our nation’s dignity:
Khiry Tisdem, of Shreveport, has no problem going out in his “Family Guy” Stewie pajama pants.
“I wear my (pajama) pants anywhere,” Tisdem said. “I’m an American, and I can wear my clothes anywhere I want. I’m a grown man. I pay my own bills, so I can wear my clothes the way I want. I don’t know why it’s an issue.”
Caddo Parish District 3 Commission Michael Williams said it was an incident at a local Walmart that offended him and some elderly customers that spurred him to push for an ordinance that would prohibit wearing pajama pants in public.
“I saw a group of young men wearing pajama pants and house shoes,” he said. “At the part where there should have been underwear,” his private parts were showing through the fabric.

Unlike Michael Williams my eyes are not drawn to unappealing costumes.
There are more important problems to tackle than pajama pants, how about start tackling the road rage disrespect problem.
Well there you have it. There should already be a law against indecent exposure (deliberate showing of genitalia in a sexually provoking or aggressive manner), and a warning should suffice to cure the problem, if not, there are heavy handed laws in place, and the store can ban him. If he’s covered up, I don’t think you can do anything but refuse service. I don’t see what the big deal is unless he is showing off his privates. Tacky isn’t always illegal or millions more would be in jail!
