Jean Genie, part deux
Because my inquiring mind wants to know, I dorked it out tonight and did some research on blue jeans. Here is an extremely scary tidbit that I thought I'd share with you all:
"On February 10, 1999, the Italian Supreme Court of Appeal in Rome overturned a rape conviction, stating that jeans are unable to be removed without the wearer's consent. Therefore, they ruled, the supposed victim must have been an active participant in the act. This last verdict, however, was also overturned, on November 28, 2001, by the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation, which finally established that wearing jeans does not exclude rape."
On a lighter note, jeans are blue because when they were first created indigo was the cheapest and most durable dye. Not because Levi or Strauss was a Cubs fan, but thanks for the theory, Dinner.
