I SEE LONDON, I SEE FRANCE . . .
Are we seeing too many underpants? Although the trend may be passe now, this cultural wedgie leaves few people stuck in the middle.

Not since Bill Clinton was asked "Boxers or briefs?" have underwear and politics collided so publicly.

State Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, recently introduced a measure in Florida that would make it illegal to "expose below-waist underwear in a public place." Violators of Florida's Senate Bill 2260 would face a second-degree misdemeanor and punishment of no more than 10 days in jail and a ticket of $50.

And Siplin isn't the only one hoping to pull up the public's pants. Similar bills were proposed in Virginia and Louisiana.

But the news isn't good for politicians and others striving to put underwear out of sight, out of mind: Public support for the measures has been weak, with most adults seeing them as unenforceable.
