(Newser) – A Florida town is requiring its employees to wear underwear and deodorant under a new dress code passed this month, the Tampa Tribune reports. Aimed at promoting “strict personal hygiene,” the rules ban “sexually provocative” apparel and forbid “the observable lack of undergarments and exposed undergarments.” Brooksville’s mayor cast the lone dissenting vote. “I think in a way it takes away freedom of choice,” he said.

I think they are going by the Supreme Court's rule for pornography: "I know it when I see it."

Eh, I'm torn. I mean, it's a pretty regular thing, but the idea of it is a little disturbing. I don't think this should be an actual law.
