From a distance, I thought this was some kind of protest against the Screen Actors Guild. It is in fact part of State Senator Eric Adams's campaign against droopy drawers.
Day 55
STOP THE SAG!
February 23rd, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
I’m all for stopping the SAG! I think it looks stupid, ridiculous and why wear any pants they wear them so far off their butts anyways. To me it looks trashy.
Let them sag all they want….a nice useful tool to help separate the crazies from the sane in a glance.
funny stuff!
I live in Minnesota. A couple of months ago, on a snowy day where the high was about 20, I watched a guy walking down the street with saggy jeans. He was holding a wad of the fabric in front to keep them from falling down…and his rear end, covered only by boxers, was sticking out between his jeans and his coat. I repeat: 20 degrees outside. Forget high heels, THAT’S suffering for fashion.
That’s just stupidity too. Why not just pull the dang things UP instead of holding onto a bunch of fabric in front? He could have pulled them back down when he got to where he was going.
Someday, and maybe some people have already done it, but I’d like to see bystanders who see someone with saggy pants pull on them somehow to make them come all the way off. I think that would be funny.
And, I just don’t see how something like this saggy pants fad can’t be considered indecent exposure.
It is not a pretty sight when they loose them.
