Thongs banned on NC beach

[Homeslice]

Gotta be due to a bunch of soccer moms & old women mad about being upstaged by younger women :idk:


(CNN) -- If you plan on going to Kure Beach, North Carolina, bring your sunscreen and shades, but please leave your thong behind.

The seaside community has adopted a zero tolerance policy on anyone wearing the barely-there bikini by the shore on their part of North Carolina's Pleasure Island, just south of Wilmington.

"You can do what you want to in your own space," said Mayor Dean Lambeth, "but for public decency, keep it off the public beach."

Lambeth told CNN he and the town supervisors last week unanimously approved the ordinance banning the skimpy bathing wear.

"Everything we do is family oriented. We like the small town atmosphere," he said.

The decision to forbid thongs was triggered by a couple's recent inquiry about spending their honeymoon in Kure Beach, Lambeth said.

According to the mayor, the couple wanted to know if they could wear thongs. The man thought the town's policy on the matter was ambiguous, Lambeth said. After consulting with the police chief, he determined the ordinance should be amended to better address the issue.

Section 12-32 of the Code of the Town of Kure Beach, which was adopted on April 22, makes it illegal "for any person being naked or insufficiently clothed ... to bathe or swim in the Atlantic Ocean" or any other area within the town's jurisdiction. Sun-bathing "naked or insufficiently clothed" is also banned.

"Thong bathing suits or similar attire are specifically prohibited," the code says.

Anyone wearing a thong on the beach will be fined $25.

Lambeth said reaction to the no-thong policy has been overwhelmingly positive.

"I have gotten probably 100 e-mails from all over the U.S. supporting our stance," he told CNN. "I'm getting calls from New York, California that they are glad somebody is finally taking a stand for public decency."

Lambeth, who said Kure Beach's population swells from 2,500 to 11,000 in the summer, described the town as "nice, slow-mo and conservative."

"We're just a small southern community, and that's how we're going to keep it," he said.

He also suspected the decision on the thongs could end up in court and blamed liberals for that.

"You can file a suit -- the way this country is leaning so far left, it wouldn't surprise me," he said. "They want to challenge it? They want to spend the money? Go for it."

Lambeth said people can wear thongs in their homes and backyards. And with his policy in place, he told CNN he's content.

"I'm sitting out here looking at the ocean and don't see a damn thong in sight."

:lol: Well if that's the case then I wish all the yankee mofo's would stop moving down here...well except for my friends in New Hampshire. :lol:

For the most part it's a pretty good state to live in. It does suck that the town of Kure Beach wants to do this though.

Not to mention this being said by someone from NJ ? :rofl:

[Homeslice]

I agree, NC is cool.......especially Asheville, Hendersonville, and Wilmington. The rest of it, well it's ok I guess.

[azoomm]

Lets just say, while i do not approve of more laws, not everyone that wears a thong should be wearing a thong. :wink:

Give me a fucking break, people are idiots. You don't like what you see, turn your head and look away.

[MILK]

Let's be honest here.. VERY few people can pull off wearing a thong without making the rest of us want to vomit.

[goof2]

the couple wanted to know if they could wear thongs.

Stupid puritans or public service? You be the judge.

However, obesity isn't as big as an issue here as other states.

[the chi]

After having lived in the Destin area for 9 years, Im all about banning any swimsuit that shows more than a pair of underwear. If they can pull off the barely there its cute. Since 98% of people cant, and its always the folks who SHOULDNT, Im all about banning shit like that. Ever seen a human beluga in a string bikini? Some things you cant burn out of your eyes. EVER.

Thats it, I am riding in a speedo the entire rally.

[pauldun170]

Even in cases where every thong in view is a buck short of 500lbs cottage cheese I still wouldn't call out for "banning".
The reason is this little know concept of minding my own business in the peronal lives of every damn person that falls into a view.

For those who cry over "decency\moral BS" nonsense why not show your little porker of a kid good examples of healthy looking people.

See that one right there? thats whats going to happen to you wif you keep eating fried food.
See tha one over there? Thats what happens when you eat you vegetables.

YES! Just because you can drive in snow in the North doesn't mean you can here! We don't maintain the roads for snow like they do. It's like skiing in NC vs Colorado - not the same thing!!! I lived in OH for a dreadful year and there is a world of difference.

If you saw many of the "tasty euros" who come to Florida, otherwise known as fat, hairy, and old Germans, Canadians, and Brits in speedos, your attitude may change. If someone is in the water here before its temperature gets above 80 it is almost certainly someone listed above will those preconditions.

[OneSickPsycho]

I hate thongs... They ruin good asses imo...

Bullshit. You're an ass...and with a thong, you'd still be an ass.

What's lost here?

[Homeslice]

Well technically, a lot of businesses have moved to the South from other parts of the country, due to lower cost of business :shrug:

AND when a Northerner relocates down there, he can usually spend decent coin on a house, because the one he sold was worth a lot more than the average Southern home (yes yes there are exceptions, some burbs of Atlanta and Dallas are expensive, bla bla......but I'm talking averages)

Doesn't bother me a bit. Those who are hot will get looked at, the others get ignored.

Depends on your definition of "good ass"..........meaty and jiggly, or small and tight?

It can be like a train wreck, hard to ignore.

Probably in some of the more conservative counties, there are plenty in the (liberal) South Florida area though.

[101lifts2]

Homeslice, the law was meant to stop guys from wearing thongs. So happens that they cannot discriminate against gender.

[pauldun170]

BS...Once you get over the initial "WTF is that" you go on with you life and look elsewhere.

Laws dictating specific styles or the prohibition of certain styles of dress are best left to middle eastern countries.

Either kind... Thongs don't accentuate the ass like other styles... Boy shorts are best... they make even mediocre asses look pretty good.

All true but as she stated...they aren't THE reason the economy is better.

As far as clothing restrictions and Europeans...less guys wearing speedos would be fine with me...but I see no reason to make it a law/ordinance. :idk:

[pauldun170]

... and the 1920s.

Plenty of similarites between moder day middle east and 1920's US.
(Not counting Saudi Arabia...that place is just totally beyond fucked up.)

[sherri_chickie]

From what I have seen, it's usually the people who shouldn't be wearing a thong that choose to wear one, and it's hard to put a measure in place saying you have to be this hot, thin, etc to wear one.

I still have the imagines of a lot of fat Europeans going topless and in speedo's on a beach in Tunisia. I was scared to open my eyes!

I think I am for the ban.

It's kinda like Hippie Hollow, the famous (at least locally so) nude beach here in Austin.
The saying goes, "Hippie Hollow: Where the pretty young girls are sometimes naked and the fat old men are ALWAYS naked"

Who cares if someone's wearing a thong or not though? I mean, covered or not I can still tell they look like crap.

It's a body. Why are we so freakin' afraid to see bodies?

Jesus, who would be stupid enough to get implants at that age. In fact anything over 40 is just wrong. Do it when you're still young or don't do it at all.

I've been trying to figure that out for ten years now. Why ARE people so afraid of the human body, whether it be a fit one or not? Like nobody can be responsible for turning their head.

I was watching a documentary on Netflix the other day (This Film Has Not Yet Been Rated....very good) and there was this child behavior chic talking about the damage that seeing a naked body does to a child. She said, and I shit you not, that seeing a naked body causes as much damage to a child as being physically molested.

Its unreal.

I don't necessarily agree with the "over 40" part...I'll leave that up to the owner of the breast but at age 140 like this woman seems is definitely too old.

Don't get me wrong...I can just turn my head so I don't have to look at her on the beach but that IS pretty fecking gross imho. :lol:

Who said that granny got them recently? Hell, she could have been a Playmate or a stripper in 1962.

That's just amazing, that someone can be that ignorant, and be in a position to actually advise others. That's what's fucking unreal.

I'll bet she was ugly as shit, and perhaps if a child saw HER naked, it might scar them for life...but normal people?

Idiot. Who pointed a camera at the idiot? Why?

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

Actually, she was fuckable. I'm not sure what kind of mental disease makes a grown person think that way though. We could expand on this discussion, but we are not in the War Room.

The documentary is about the MPAA movie rating system and how seriously fucked up it is. They were illustrating how it is ok to murder 50 people with a hatchet, or stab someone in the tit and pull out a breast implant....and that gets you an R rating. But as a film becomes less violent and more sexual or sensual then its sure to snag that NC-17 rating that kills profits.

They used this dumb bitch to show the mentality that is at the root of that behavior.

BTW, that's a great movie if you have a little time and Netflix streaming. My parents wouldn't let me watch rated R movies until I moved out at 16, and I always rallied against it. Turns out I was right.

[Avatard]

They used this dumb bitch to show the mentality that is at the root of that behavior.

Well, that's cool.

How's that saying go, again?

"If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning."

Atlanta is pretty much a mixture of every northern state with maybe 1% of the population actually from Georgia. I heard that shit (my GF is from Chicago) and had to explain to them that yes, you can drive on 8-200ft of snow but you can't drive on a 1/4" of ice. That's what we get in Georgia.

Americans are such prudes. We can show people getting killed on TV but god forbid someone sees an ass cheek or nipple.

[Homeslice]

That's because this is cowboy country. It's cool to show people getting torn apart, because after all, we're tough guys. But show a naked body, and all of a sudden parents get mad because they're forced to explain something to their kids. Heaven forbid parents actually teach their kids something about life.
