Flint says no to crack.
Yes, this ran in the Detroit Free Press:
Scott Morgan, at Chronicle Blog:
Leaving aside the absurdity of telling people how to wear their pants, just contemplate the ironic path that brought us here. The style itself is an artifact of prison culture, where inmates' belts and shoelaces are confiscated and the standard-issue clothes never fit right. The style made its way back onto the streets where it entered popular culture. Now, in 2008, you can go to jail for 93 days to a year just for dressing like an inmate.
Chronicle Blog has some worthy descendants of Oscar Wilde writing in their comments section, by the way. My favorite so far:
HOW ABOUT OLD FAT MEN WHO DONT WEAR THIERE SUSPENDERS THAT DAY ARE THEY GOIN TO JAIL TO .WTF
