With all the talk about legalizing gay marriage and decriminalizing marijuana, we started thinking about the super-important stuff that we wish the po-po would come in and regulate. After the jump, 30 unacknowledged crimes that should be illegal.
It should be illegal …
- … to buy a luxury car when you work one block from where you live and never take “weekend trips.”
- … to wear tights as pants.
- … to cry during or after sex.
- … stop in the middle of a busy NYC sidewalk.
- … to talk on your cell phone during a movie or on public transportation.
- … to hold up a really long line.
- … to wear jeans with any kind of applique or rhinestones.
- … to wear full makeup and heels to go to brunch on Sunday morning.
- … to say, “Stop being crazy!” when a woman dares get justifiably angry or emotional.
- … to buy designer clothing when your rent isn’t paid.
- … to have your weave tracks showing.
