More “Pants on the Ground” than you can shake a stick at
General Larry Platt’s inspirational revolution against pants on the ground has sparked a fire in devotees ranging from football player Brett Favre to talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
The anthem remains a sensation a week after Platt gained national attention by singing it during an “American Idol” episode.
But now Platt, a long-time civil rights activist, says his song and image is being stolen by some trying to make a buck.
He’s seen his face on T-shirts and buttons.
“I need a copywriter to help me. They are stealing my stuff,” he said according to FOX News.
Platt, who developed the song after seeing someone with a pacifier in his mouth and his pants on the ground, has a slew of imitators. Some may be out for money, but others simply want pants off the ground.
Check out some of the videos below and stop looking like a fool.
What do you think? Do you hate seeing pants on the ground?
