What kind of place is Wellington, that it deserves a section of its own in my sidebar?
Why, Wellington is the kind of place where the police are moved to ban the Borat swimsuit because too many men are keen to wear it.
That’s just how we roll.

Rollin’ with your shit off safety!
I’m not saying I agree with the decision to ban Borat outfits this year, however, nowhere does it say that they are banning the costume because of its popularity. What they are saying is that they are going to enforce an already existing rule that costumes must adhere to “a sense of decency”, and they have decided that the Borat costume doesn’t.
For what it is worth, I am kinda grateful that I won’t be subjected to many photos of men in skimpy, stretched green g-strings. Not pretty.
I agree with Stretch. That costume is all the way ugly.
Actually, they say they are are “enforcing a stadium dress code”. Even if you accept that the stadium is allowed to have a dress code, it’s not a law, so why are the _police_ enforcing it?
If the stadium wants to enforce it’s dress code it should hire security like every other venue, it shouldn’t be the police doing it, and it shouldn’t be the police making the decision or the announcement.
I hope the managers of the stadium are paying for the extra police presence directly, just as people have to pay for police time and equipment when they’re the subject of a SAR.
Basically this is a boundaries issue. The stadium is commercial venue run by a company, and should not be given special treatment, and the police should stop over-stepping their authority

Plenty of clothes are unattractive, and plenty of people look unattractive in skimpy clothes (my neighbour frequently wanders round outside my lounge window with no shirt on)… I’m not sure that’s the point… …
I’m interested in the decency angle… after all, “It’s a family event and there will be children there”… Why should I be bothered by my kids seeing a guy in a Borat swimsuit? Will they also turn away women in bikinis or men in speedos? What about a man in a bikini?
