A lawmaker in Helena, Montana is trying to make the state’s “indecent exposure law” include yoga pants.

Representative David Moore said introduced House Bill 365 on Tuesday in the House Judiciary Committee. He said the bill is in response to a group of nude bicyclists who participated in a group bicycle ride through the city of Missoula back in August.

The proposed bill would drastically expand the existing indecent exposure law to include any sort of expose of nipples – including men’s – or any clothing that “gives the appearance or simulates” buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.

....

Moore said the bill “lenient,” because lessens that provision to include a maximum five years in jail and $5,000.

or whatever they do to kill such things

11. I just came across an article to that effect; however, I still think it is important

that this sort of information get out there so that people fully understand the agendas of the fundamentalist extremists we have in the halls of power now. Tabling a bill doesn't necessarily mean that it is totally dead. Some tabled bills are like zombies and live on. I don't trust people like this at all. Not at all.

3. It is a little known fact that the Founders of this nation

used to group ride around Washington while wearing yoga pants.

How would they handle the 3 times factor?

I personally feel that the term indecent exposure should include any public appearance of war criminals on television or other media. Dick Cheney, George W Bush, Colin Powell, John Yoo, and many others should all be jailed.

4. Seems it would also criminalize cross-dressing if that's not already criminal in MT

And maybe speed-suits for downhill racing

5. I foresee an uptick in yoga pants sales.

6. I always knew I was a rebel at heart. You'll have to pry my yoga pants off my cold, dead ass.

7. SHARIA LAW!

8. Just start publishing photos in the local papers.

Start 'seen around town' columns with photos of ribbon cuttings and soccer games and strolling yoga pant folk. Bet the situation cleans up quickly. And on the positive side, good to give local community activities some positive coverage. Kids like to see themselves in the paper. Parents buy extra copies. Community groups buy extra copies for their scrap books. Everyone has a camera on their phone these days. Pay $5 for each photo used. We do not need legislation for every little part of life.

9. Maria Law? What next for the Ministry of Morality, leggings?

10. That's crazy. This kind of stuff

makes me glad for the immodest dressers in our society and makes me want to join them. Normally, I'm mildly irritated by people walking around half naked. .. like the butt cheek shorts that were popular last summer. But to think they think they can CRIMINALIZE how a woman dresses! ! Unbelievable. How can anyone stay in office after proposing a bill like this? ?

12. That's it.

I'm getting a pair for every day of the week.

13. No shortage of dumbness out there. The least we can do is keep exposing it.....

many thanks for all you do, skinner!

14. He should just relocate to Saudi Arabia, it would be much easier.

[shraby]

15. This guy has some serious sex issues.

[Skidmore]

17. I agree.

He must have a hard time walking through the streets everyday. So much temptation that he needs all of society to keep him on the straight and narrow.

16. I say we give them a dozen roses instead of prison time. nt

18. I would support such a law with the following amendments:

1. Wearing black socks with sandals. Or any socks with sandals. Sentence: a daily dick-punch.
2. Politicians wearing 'the uniform' (navy suit, white shirt, maroon tie) more than three times in any single legislative session. Sentence: being the dick-puncher- bare hand, bare dick, no hand-washing before, in-between, or after.
3. Comb-overs of any kind, length, or configuration. Sentence: lick-cleaning an Afghan hound daily for a week.
4. Steel-rimmed glasses. Applies to all Republican politicians over the age of 50. Sentence: A court order to purchase more stylish, imaginative specs under threat of being blinded permanently.
