We joke about a plumber's crack incessantly. So then, what would be the guidelines, then? The showing of too much underwear? Do we not have advertisements on billboards, in print media, and on television that show men (and women) in their underwear without outer clothing at all? How about Victoria's Secret?
Victoria's Secret is OK because the models are all attractive women. With young black men it is not OK.
