Pull Up the Pants, Granny

Last night they did a news clip featuring an artist posting random signs in New York promoting   etticate.

Things like Pull Up Your Pants, no one wants to see your underwear.

Don't flip cigarette butts into the street.

Clean up after your horse.

While I don't have a solution for the last two, I do for the first one.

As cornerstones and future ancestors of the present youth, it falls upon us to set an example. If all senior citizens start wearing their pants at or below the crotch line we will soon be done with the bare butt I see your under britches dilemma.
Please, cotton boxers are required underneath, and a belt of some sort to be sure said xxL pants don't fall all the way to one's knees.

We know, as seasoned adults that once we start duplicating any "youth" activity, it becomes way uncool and becomes geezer. For instance, multiple ear piercings became regulation bad girl, now they are old lady.
Over size necklaces used to be hippie wear, now are anchor lady.

Don't make me think up more examples, my part timers may kick in. Words have followed the same path, like Rad, Serious, Groovy, Dude, have been replaced by way cooler words, which I haven't learned yet, but things like "dawg", and "fly", and being "down" with something are just a few.

I was trying out my new look and the guy in my life says it sends a wrong message. And he's right, no doubt. After all, its the young males doing it, so old gents, its up to you. Instead of the belt around your chest, put it down by your cheeks, you may need a safety cord just in case.

But my message is simple: Looks Stupid! Pull your pants up, kids. It looks stupid.
