U.S. beach bans thongs
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KURE BEACH, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina town that the mayor called “Mayberry with a beach” has banned swimmers from wearing thongs.
Kure (kyoor-EE) Beach Mayor Dean Lambeth says “we’re going to keep this as close to Mayberry with a beach as you can keep it,” referring to the idyllic Southern community portrayed on the 1960s TV series “The Andy Griffith Show.”
The Star-News of Wilmington reports that the town council voted Thursday to add a ban against the revealing swimwear to its existing ordinance against nudity.
The move came after the police chief received an e-mail earlier in the week asking if the town’s existing nude bathing ordinance allowed thongs.
The ordinance bans nudity or “insufficient clothing,” and the man wanted to know if thongs were allowed for both men and women.
This story is kind of a doucle edged sword. Sure, we could call this town puritanical for not letting women run around with their asscheeks hanging out but for all we know there could have been a group of dudes sporting thongs around the beach. If that's the case then I think you have to pass this law. Even the good in that situation doesn't outweight the bad. Nothing ruins a day at the beach like man ass. Obviously the Mayberry of the East Coast knows this well.
