Uganda may pass miniskirt ban
http://www.feministing.com/archives/011111.html

Uganda's ethics and integrity minister Nsaba Buturo is seeking a ban of miniskirts because of the distraction it causes, equating it with nudity:

"What's wrong with a miniskirt? You can cause an accident because some of our people are weak mentally. . . If you find a naked person you begin to concentrate on the make-up of that person and yet you are driving . . . These days you hardly know who is a mother from a daughter, they are all naked."
Cause an accident? This reminds me of the typical movie scene where a "hot chick" passes a gentleman who, in his trance o' lust, walks into a pole or gets hit by a car.

Buturo is seeking to have miniskirt-wearing as punishable by law. Let's keep in mind this guy also compared the indecency of wearing a skirt with the other "vices" of Ugandan society such as "heft and embezzlement of public funds, sub-standard service delivery, greed, infidelity, prostitution, homosexuality sectarianism..." Sigh.

1. I have seen this twice - once a car, once into a pole - not in a movie.
