Osvaldo Colon walks the streets proselytizing with other believers that the world will end this May 21, Judgment Day, on May 13, 2011 in New York City.
The fashion police have been making big bucks in Albany, Ga. Over the span of a year, the southwestern Georgia town collected nearly $4,000 in fines from people charged with violating an ordinance banning the wearing of clothes below their waistlines, or exposing undergarments. First-time offenders were given a $25 fine. Repeat offenders faced fines to the tune of $200.
Nearly 187 citations have been issued since the law took effect in November, 2010. Civil liberty advocates have their shorts in a knot over it, but the success of the Albany law has led other towns in Georgia to enact similar bans.
