What would you ban?

[BoyBach]

A mayor in the US state of Louisiana says he will sign into law a proposal to make wearing saggy trousers an act of indecent exposure.

Delcambre town council unanimously passed the ordinance earlier this week making it a crime to wear trousers that show underwear.

"If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine" of US$500 (£254) Mayor Carol Broussard said.

Offenders will also risk up to six months in jail.

US town set to ban saggy trousers


In light of this news story:

I hereby appoint you as all powerful Mayor of your village/town/city/district. What annoyance would you ban/dismiss into Room 101?


(I'd get rid of those annoying boy racer sound systems that THUMP-THUMP-THUMP as they drive past. Slowly. With their windows wound down.)

I thought underwear covered up private parts.
I wouldn't ban anything. I hate the idea of banning something, either teach as to why it might be bad or the consequences that go along with it, or teach appropriate use of something.

People who play loud music through their mobile phones without earphones. Every morning when I get the tram to work it is full of school kids doing exactly that. Drives me mad!

Technically though I think there might already be a bylaw about that sort of thing...

Stupid iPhone threads
Loud, obnoxious cellphone talkers
People who pay by check in the supermarket

Get realistic. I'd start with leaf blowers.

You win. I vote for Lee for all benevolent ruler of the world.

Is stupidity (at my discretion of course) an option?


EDIT: That's what I get for forgetting to hit 'Submit Reply' and walking away!

 

[Kuma76]

ban myself from this thread(finger)

 

[zap2]

I'd ban those Push to talk phones...not for Constructions Workers and other who need them, but people in malls who could easily call the person they need.


God that stuff pisses me off!

 

[Tanglewood]

Why not ban dihydrogen monoxide?

 

[Fearless Leader]

^^
wow, is that not common knowledge?

 

[SamIchi]

Rap music.

Musical intolerance.

 

[Kamera RAWr]

I'd ban cars with subwoofers so powerful and loud that all the bolts come loose. Its annoying at a stoplight and you hear a jar of pennies rattling next to your car

Edit: I love listening to loud music while cruising, but some things are just ridiculous.

I'd Ban Pc & Microsoft Threads

Submit to shiny Apple - MacPro perfection & Non Hackro$oft software, or prepare to be assimilated....

Sure- but if you die while being stupid, your family can't sue anyone for it.

Musical intolerance.

I dunno I think my musical tolerance is being tested by today's rap music.

"party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar, party like a rockstar"

"Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it, Pop lock and drop it"

"this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot, this is why I'm hot"

The only way to tolerate such trash would be to shoot myself in the head.

You have a very limited knowledge on what hip-hop is. This what they play on the radio, and usually can be classified as hip-pop. Hip-hop/rap is a huge genre, and unfortunately the radio over plays every song, and they are usually garbage.

 

[furcalchick]

i would ban soda, high frutcose corn syrup and aspetane to start.

second, credit cards would be gone.

more later.

That's the benefit of being the Grand Pooba of your town. It doesn't matter why you ban it. Anybody who tried to make me explain a ban would be banned. Actually they just wouldn't be exempted (see below).

I would ban stupidity and lack common sense.

I don't know why I keep reading that as "I would ban stupidity and lack common sense." I'm sorry. I'm a little tired, I guess.

Anyhow, if I really could ban anything I wanted, I'd ban everything. Exemptions to the ban would be easily available, subject to my approval. That way I wouldn't miss anything that needed banning.

 

[elfin buddy]

I'd ban crocs. Ugly little buggers, they are.

Fixed it! Thanks.

I'd ban all of you.
