Brickbat: Pants on the Ground
Human rights groups say police in Gaza have been abducting young men, beating them and shaving their heads, for wearing "Western" hairstyles or low-riding pants that show their underwear. The groups say the moves are part of a larger effort by Hamas to enforce Islamic rules on behavior and appearance.

The punishment should fit the crime--the police should simply give these youths atomic wedgies.
So, there are sand wiggers in Gaza?
What a weird planet.
No shit. Personally I blame Israel for not distributing free belts to needy Palestinian youths
I blame the US for not sending enough money to Israel.
The revolution is over, Mr. al-Saggypants. Condolences: the bums lost.
Maybe Hamas is just going through a phase, like Mitt Romney did.
You can't say they're bad people for it - like you couldn't say Mitt Romney was a bad person.
Funny you brought him up.
I was just thinking about how our situation might be different if we had a skilled negotiator like Romney across the table from Putin instead of BO in this whole Syria mess.
Ah, I needed a good laugh. Thank you.
Do they shave their balls and ass, too?
