Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong removed from plane for sagging pants

Remember that time VH1 devoted an episode of Behind the Music to Green Day, and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong told the program that releasing "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" was the most punk rock thing he ever did? Dude was wrong — getting kicked off a plane for sagging his pants is the most punk rock thing he ever did.
It all happened last Thursday on a Southwest Airlines flight leaving Oakland for Burbank. Reports NYDN:
A flight attendant approached the 39-year-old singer just as the flight was going to take off. She insisted his pants were too low and asked him to hike them up. Qiu said Armstrong lashed out, asking the flight attendant, "Don't you have better things to do then worry about that?" She then threatened to remove Armstrong from the flight, to which he said, "I'm just trying to get to my f--king seat." The "Basket Case" singer and his traveling companion were then taken off the plane.
Intense! So does this mean Lil Wayne is simply banned from aviation altogether?

Good. I fucking *hate* sagging.
i fucing hate you
Nothing this guy did was ever punk rock.
Gospel.
True dat.
A 39 year old wearing sagging pants? Sad.
I guess he probably spent the next couple of hours trying to find another f------ seat.
He walks a lonely road.
Not quite so lonely, with a crowd of hangers-on and a "travelling companion".
The terrorists have won :(
YAY!
what do they call themselves?
"El Tea Party"?
In spite of what people will say today, sagging isn’t new. It dates back to the fifties, when its display was an advertisement for guys that wanted it in the butt.
Perhaps Billy Joe A was hoping to meet a nice guy get laid on the flight.
Oh,.. and if you don’t think sagging doesn’t mean you like it up the poop-chute, try sagging in prison.
That’s right. Just take a look at the pics above of Lil Wayne. Check out his pants. Now imagine him prancing around a cell block singing “Look at me. I’m a pony!”
Oh yeah, they’d ride him like a pony alright!
im sure wayne would never say that , but looks like yu would or have before? know from experience?
Please ensure tray-tables are stowed and trousers are in the upright position.
Please ensure your tray tables (and your f*%cken trousers) are in the upright position. Thank you.
okay, I'm 21 and I personallycan't stand people who sag their pants down around their ankles, if I want to see an ass I'd go look in the mirror or go look at my husbands.If they sag their pants a little bit I'm fine with it but if I start to see man "goodies" in the front or the guy's buttchecks ABOVE the top of the pants then yes I'm going to start bitching. Another thing is how exactly low was Billie Joe's pants, could they see his underwear or thong or whatever he was(or possibly was not) wearing? If so yeah, the flight attendent was in the right of asking him to pull his pants up . If they could not see anything then they were in the wrong. But honestly if someone wants to advertise that they are currently looking for a buddy to play brokeback mountain with , then so be it, the flight attendants should have something more productive to worry about, like hmmm the terrorist instead of someone sagging.
sweet tits, 21 and married, you need therapy
Man, what year is this? Green Day? Sagging pants? VH1?
