Pajama Pants Parish of the Day: Caddo Parish, Louisiana — sagging-pants-free since 2011 — is tackling its latest public eyesore: Pajama pants. Caddo Parish District 3 Commission Michael Williams is pushing for an ordinance that would officially ban the wearing of pajama pants outdoors.
He says he was offended by a young man he saw at Walmart whose private parts were showing through the fabric of his pajama pants.
“If you can’t (wear pajamas) at the Boardwalk or courthouse, why are you going to do it in a restaurant or in public?” Williams asked rhetorically. “Today it’s pajamas, tomorrow it’s underwear. Where does it stop?”
Some people in the city of Shreveport, which is located in Caddo Parish, have expressed their disapproval of the proposed ordinance.
“I wear my [Family Guy pajama] pants anywhere,” said resident Khiry Tisdem. “I’m an American, and I can wear my clothes anywhere I want. I’m a grown man. I pay my own bills, so I can wear my clothes the way I want. I don’t know why it’s an issue.”
What say you? Go home and sleep it off or don’t tread on my pajama pants?

Okay, beyond the stupidity of turning the world into a place where government tries to turn common sense into laws, here’s a tougher question: how do you legally define the difference between pajama pants and regular pants?
Plus, couldn’t normal pants be worn-through enough that someone was flashing the world? Don’t public nudity laws already cover that?
