[img=090611_saggypants.jpg]We recently reported that Billie Joe was kicked off of a Southwest flight due to his pants sagging too low. Besides being all buzz on twitter and tumblr, the news has made a small buzz amongst legitimate news sources, including CNN.

The article basically sums up the story with a few quips ("Talk about a fashion victim..."), but I think its nice to see our boys back in the news, even for something as ridiculous as this.

Just as a refresher, Billie did get on the next flight and was compensated by Southwest. Other than the twitter post heard 'round the world, he has not been available for comment.

The picture to the right shows Billie's story making big screen headlines at a shopping center.

Thanks to Jaymee for the photo.
