Montana GOP Legislator Wants to Ban Yoga Pants

Montana Republican state Rep. David Moore has a plan to guide America out of the darkness—ban yoga pants.

Moore, who is upset that group of naked bicyclists pedaled through Missoula last year, decided that what his state really needs right now is tighter regulations on trousers. His proposed bill, HB 365, would outlaw not just nudity, but also "any device, costume, or covering that gives the appearance of or simulates the genitals, pubic hair, anus region, or pubic hair region." Per the Billings Gazette:

The Republican from Missoula said tight-fitting beige clothing could be considered indecent exposure under his proposal.

"Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway," Moore said after the hearing.

Moore said he wouldn’t have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing but that he'd trust law enforcement officials to use their discretion. He couldn’t be sure whether police would act on that provision or if Montana residents would challenge it.

[In_The_Wind]

3. Good grief.

[HappyMe]

20. +1

My thought exactly.

[trumad]

4. Everytime I read a story like this I immediately want to see what the bozo looks like.

I'm never disappointed.

[DryHump]

11. That he is so concerned tells me

he has large, sexual PROBLEMS....he'll be in the news soon enough busted for some pervy thing or other.

[upaloopa]

14. My bet he has a stash of porn.

He's like the guys that we see on our clothing optional beach on a business trip with a towel in a Walmart bag wearing shorts and walking up and down the beach looking at the naked bodies without his wife or SO. Then pretending to be mr morality to his family.

[pipi_k]

27. That's exactly

what I would think too.


You can tell a lot about a person's Dark Side by what so-called "vices" he rants against.

[RKP5637]

34. Yep! These individuals that are so obsessively compulsively preoccupied with other

individual's parts IMO have some real stuff floating around in their minds.

[panader0]

16. He also wants to ban dry humping....

Even dogs on your leg would be sent to the pound.

[randome]

39. Along with the offending leg.

58. DUzy!

[hifiguy]

57. They're always pasty-looking white guys

with a weird look in their eyes. It's nearly a law of the universe.

[TwilightGardener]

5. What, exactly, ARE yoga pants? Is this what we call leggings now?

[KMOD]

8. Yeah, they're pretty much the same thing.

[F4lconF16]

42. I'm so confused...

The other day, I was asking a friend if they make yoga pants for men, since she was wearing some, and they looked really comfortable. Then she told me they were leggings, and didn't explain the difference...

[KMOD]

46. Yoga pants are usually made of a thicker material.

leggings used to be more like tights, where you would wear something over them.

But now they are making jeans and calling them leggings, so who the heck knows anymore. lol

[pkdu]

52. They are called Jeggings.........don't you watch infomercials at 3am like the rest of us?

[KMOD]

60. lol

I've never been very good at keeping up with the latest styles.

[shenmue]

6. Thank God there is nothing else to worry about!

[ismnotwasm]

7. That's just weird

I like like yoga pants. I haven't noticed any 'stimulating' features--I'll have examine this phenomenon closer

[tblue37]

41. "Simulating," as in giving the appearance of. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. So he would arrest this beautiful sculpture of a man for just being

himself? Unbelievable.

[yellowcanine]

21. Ow- You need to issue a warning when posting graphic G.Gordon Liddy bikini pictures.

Seriously.

[hifiguy]

59. Pony Mind Bleach!

PONY MIND BLEACH!!!

[Johonny]

10. I'm sure this same man hates Sharia law though...

[11 Bravo]

12. But he's a great 'Merkin. Is he trying to outlaw himself?

[KMOD]

13. Ban rowing from the Olympics

[ProfessorGAC]

30. OK By Me!

Not for the same reason though. It's a rich kid sport.

[F4lconF16]

43. Really?

I know a couple of rowers on the University of Washington team and none of them are rich, or even "well-off". I know that's just anecdotal evidence, but...banning it seems kinda excessive (if you were serious haha). Also, almost any Olympic sport these days requires training from a young age, which generally means you need money.

[ProfessorGAC]

49. Sorry. I Was Just Kidding

I don't want anybody banned for what they wear in any field or endeavor.

I use the same line on a guy at work who's a lacrosse coach. I tell him i don't care 'cuz it's a rich kid sport.

Around our neck of the woods, only the schools from the very affuent areas had the money to field a lacrosse team. It wasn't so much the sport itself, it's that most of the schools only had enough money to field a limited number of sports. Lacrosse, hockey, swimming, diving, etc. were just not on most middle class schools' radar.

Hence the attitude, which is not really serious.

[F4lconF16]

50. Nah, no problem!

I kinda figured

Ah, that makes sense. My high school had a few sports like that. I guess I was thinking at the university level, where pretty much any popular sport gets as much funding as they want.

[herding cats]

15. Somebody's showing off their ass alright

Or, at least the stick wedged up it.

[JaneyVee]

17. "SMALL GOVT"

[yellowcanine]

18. But if they have to take off the yoga pants then they are nekkid, right?

I am so confused.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I keep getting stuck on how someone would "simulate an anus" through clothing use...

[yellowcanine]

22. And he was one letter away from saying something really horrible.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. AND I almost typo'd that really horrible into my response.

Glad I'm an editor by trade.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

23. Dude's asking for this.......

Freddie referred to them as "beauties" in the song.

[Marr]

25. And also, get the government off our backs.

[Jackpine Radical]

28. They ARE off your back.

Now they're on your ass.

[Jamaal510]

26. There's more

of that GOP "freedom" everyone's been carrying on about.

[LanternWaste]

29. He sounds like one of those idiots MRA's who tell us they can't help but look at women...

He sounds like one of those idiots MRA's who tell us they can't help but look at women because of their attire.

[upaloopa]

32. When I see a woman in tights (my co workers wear them

on casual Fridays) I think, there is a woman who is proud and comfortable with herself and she doesn't want any harassment from me.
I respect her for being ok with herself.
We all could learn some lessons about self confidence from them.

[pinboy3niner]

31. Hey, David! David, David, David, David, David!

Guess what DAAAAYYY it is? It's YOGA PANTS day!

[Sissyk]

48. lol!!!

Let it go, phil!

[RKP5637]

33. So I guess twerking is also out of the question?

[randome]

35. Use it or lose it, Mr. Moore!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

[nc4bo]

36. The little prude acts like one of those cyclists invited him to test ride their bikes!

Like someone up thread mentioned, bet he has a stash of prOn that'd make a hooker blush.

[underpants]

37. Moore you moron

It's a free look at Krogers and Target. Numbskull.

[LondonReign2]

38. Betcha he procliams to hate "big government" though

[GoCubsGo]

40. When did yoga pants become such a sexualized garment?

This isn't the first time I've seen somebody whining about yoga pants as being somehow indecent. This past summer, in a discussion about cheerleaders and "ice girls" on a sports blog I frequent, one of the resident teabaggers was bitching about them. He got his shorts in a wad because women at his gym had the audacity to work out in tight-fitting garments, like yoga pants. And, oh the horrors, low-cut tops. This guy is in his 30s, so he's not some older person who grew up in another era. I guess women are supposed to work out in burkas because he can't control his own weird sexual urges?

[JoePhilly]

44. I think HE showed everyone his ASS.

[benz380]

45. Simulate but don't stimulate. nt

53. Did

Moore run on an anti-yoga pants platform?

"Vote for me and I will waste your taxpayer dollars and a lot of time and paper fighting things like yoga pants...but wait, there's more!"

The death of a thousand cuts seems to be coming by way of a carload of clowns, all trained at the same clown academy who are hell bent on distracting the focus from important issues and creating sensational diversions for their masters...um, constituents.

We are getting a mass wedgie from people who are obviously playing with the emotions and sensibilities of people while shirking their responsibilities and detracting the spotlight from some very serious issues at hand.

One would hope people will notice this more and that we can start to call them on the utility of making a mockery of our legal process in this day and age. Enough!

[AgingAmerican]

55. I take it he doesn't approve of 'twerking' either?

[merrily]

56. I guess I have to turn myself to the fashion police. I thought yoga pants were loose.

I ordered a pair online and that is what they sent me. I never wore them but they were ankle length, waist high and kind of shapeless and baggy. (Hmmm. It's starting to dawn on me why I never wore them.)
