Saggy pants -- stupid but legalWe have good news and bad news. First, the good: Our freedom of expression is as free as ever. The bad: We still have to look at dudes who didn't get the memo saying that walking around with their pants somewhere below their underwear is totally dumb.

Bronx judge Reuben Franco found in favor of a man who was issued a citation for disorderly conduct because his saggy pants exposed his underwear. The cop who gave him the ticket argued that Julio Martinez's pants were so low that he was in danger of flashing his junk, but the judge said the look doesn't disrupt public order or decency, even if it is "foolish." (In that assessment, Franco concurs with "American Idol" star General Larry Platt)

Although we could probably argue that last point, we'd rather waste our energy on riding the L train and glowering at scrawny white dudes with mustaches in "ironic" muscle shirts and throwback hi-tops. That offends our sense of decency -- and it's not even close to being as funny as the butt-exposer get-up.
