The mankini may be ridiculous, but illegal!? In one seaside town in England, you better not dare to bare...
According to the Telegraph UK, the popular party town of Newquay in England has started enforcing stricter rules to keep underage drinkers and rowdy revelers to a minimum, and its recent "No Nonsense" campaign apparently includes a dress code. "Police are taking a low-tolerance approach to offensive T-shirts, sexually explicit antics and under-age drinking in the town which has become popular with teenagers celebrating the end of exams," the paper reports. "In the first few days of the campaign three men were told to hand over crude toys and clothing, including a mankini, and 12 people were asked to leave the town for disorderly behaviour."
Because clearly any place where a dude feels free enough to wear a mankini is the kind of place where trouble can happen, right!? Pretty hilarious, huh? Do you think Borat would throw a fit if he was asked to hand his neon number over to the cops? And do you think this campaign will be effective in limiting the party atmosphere, or is it a little too restrictive? Do you think taking someone's mankini away is the answer? Discuss!
