Sagging Pants.......

I'm unsure why the fad of people pulling their pants down and showing people their underwear is still semi-acceptable in todays society.  So I'm on my way to class yesterday and noticed I had a little bit of time to spare.  Before driving onto campus, I pulled into the Burger King that's right next to my destination and began waiting in line.  I had about 20 minutes to spare so being 3 cars back from the ordering machine was 0 on my care list.  I was listening to music and enjoying my time thinking of which drink I wanted when from the parking lot, I couldn't help but see him.  This was a young guy, maybe early 20's, that had parked his car and was on his way into the fast food chain.  He was wearing a red shirt, gray sweat pants, and bright green boxers.  How did I know what color his undergarments were, you ask?  Maybe because his elastic waist was around his thighs instead of his waist and his boxers were out there for the world to see!  Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most sweat pants not only have an elastic waist, but also usually have a draw string to assist ones need to tighten them around their waist if it's too loose?  Come on, man!!!  I remember in the 90's when this fad was in full effect, and I never understood it.  How is it still a popular thing for people to do this?  Have we not grown as a society enough to value our clothes and how to wear them?  What about being portrayed in a certain light to others?  Not only does it look ridiculous, but doesn't it make it a little harder to retrieve things from your pockets when they're down that low?  I'll never forget the time that I saw a guy that had to bend over at the waist to pull his cell phone out of his front right pocket just because his pants were that far down on his legs.  Seeing these things make me question what we see as acceptable and also people in general.  What the hell is wrong with this society?
