Montana Republican: Make yoga pants illegal!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"0223Yoga-Pants\"No one should accuse Republicans of not having a sense of humor. These guys are hilarious. Take David Moore, a state rep from the great state of Montana who has introduced a bill that would make wearing yoga pants illegal.<\/p>\n

Oh. Hahahhaha. Good one!<\/p>\n

No, he\u2019s serious. It turns out that Moore was victimized by some naked people riding bicycles through the town of Missoula last year. They rode by him and he saw their genitals\u2014or at least knew that their genitals were right there\u2014and it was very traumatizing.  He hasn\u2019t gotten over it. And he vowed to fight this.<\/p>\n

This week he introduced legislation to tighten the belt on, well, trousers. His bill, HB 365<\/a>, would outlaw nudity, of course, but also \u201cany device, costume, or covering that gives the appearance of or simulates the genitals, pubic hair, anus region, or pubic hair region,\u201d according to the Billings Gazette<\/a>. This would include the wearing of Speedos (European males, beware!) and flesh-colored tight pants. Someone asked him about yoga pants. "Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway," Moore said after the hearing.<\/p>\n

Yes, and their wearers should be thrown in jail and the key thrown away. And they should be sentenced to wearing loose-fitting clothing, (but not, it should be said, saggy pants) and there should be no yoga classes in prison, ever.<\/p>\n

That\u2019ll teach \u2018em!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
