Lawmaker seeks pajamas-in-public ban


SHREVEPORT, La. — Caddo Parish District 3 Commissioner Michael Williams doesn’t care to see people in their PJs, at least not at a shopping center, restaurant or anywhere else in public.

Williams said after seeing a group of young men at a local Walmart wearing pajama pants that revealed one young man’s private parts, he decided to push for an ordinance that would prohibit wearing pajama pants in public.

“Pajamas are designed to be worn in the bedroom at night,” Williams said. “If you can’t (wear pajamas) at the Boardwalk or courthouse, why are you going to do it in a restaurant or in public? Today it’s pajamas,” Williams said. “Tomorrow it’s underwear. Where does it stop?”

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.”

1. I wore PJs to college once.

On PJ day...

2. Oh for Pete's sake

maybe we should have the PJ police walking the streets ... come on if the degree of coverage conforms to local standards for modesty/ acceptability why the hell would anyone care?

3. No shit. If he was able to see some guy's hanging garden

he should have phoned the cops and gotten the guy busted for weenie wagging.

I honestly don't give a shit how anyone else looks. Some look great. Some look like they've got a grudge against themselves. Most of us are somewhere in the middle, muddling along with what we can afford and what's clean.

Screw the fashion police. Let them find honest work. Surely there are some ditches needing to be dug.

[etherealtruth]

4. Right here in the middle with you!

[truth2power]

8. "hanging garden"....

Never heard that before.

[Posteritatis]

5. I'm glad to see that Shreveport has fixed all their major problems. (nt)

[appleannie1]

6. I have never seen private parts of people wearing them. They cover more than some summer clothes.

[Politicalboi]

7. He must have shit

When Michael Jackson wore his PJ's to court. LOL!

[AtomicKitten]

9. A general public dress code?

Wow, there's that GOP "small government" getting all up in the general public's biznez again.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. I wouldn't wear pjs in public, but that's me. As long as you keep your private parts covered up,

what difference if they're covered with flannel or denim. Besides, I've seen some regular street clothes that are pretty much obscene.

Having said that, I must admit that I wonder about the fashion sense of the 50-ish guy I saw grocery shopping in his space ship print pjs or the woman I saw at the courthouse in her flannel pj bottoms and knee high, fringed moccasins, but, again, that's just me.

11. Small government? Really? Doesn't your community already have indecency statutes?

Or are you the sole arbitor? Dork

12. My son went his entire junior year of high school in pajamas.

He wore underwear underneath. I figured if the school didn't care, why should I.

[Leftest]

13. LOL What would Hugh Hefner say?

[RC]

14. Maybe I should go buy a pair, just so I can wear them in public.

[L. Coyote]

15. I knew some people still had PJs

I just didn't know anyone still wears them

[XemaSab]

16. If pajamas in public were outlawed

the streets of Redding, California would be deserted.

[tblue37]

20. If pajamas are outlawed, then only outlaws will have pajamas! nt

[hootinholler]

19. You might want to edit that

The TOS is pretty clear on posting personal info.

[hootinholler]

18. What's next

Kilts?

[Quantess]

21. I know...

If you wear 'jammies in public, you must wear saggy pants over them.
2 problems solved.

[LiberalAndProud]

22. Time to edit my dictionary.

Fashion Police: An imaginary Shreveport police force that ensures that people dress according to fashion.

Where do I apply? Because when somebody asks me "Who are you, the Fashion Police?" I want to be able to say, "Yes. Yes I am."

23. WHEN JAMMIES ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL WEAR JAMMIES
