Brickbat: Holiday Decorations

Police in Denham Springs, Louisiana, ordered Sarah Henderson to take down some of her Christmas decorations. Henderson had arranged the lights on her roof to resemble a hand flipping the bird. Officers told her the lights violated state obscenity laws.

Can't she just...put some reindeer around it or somethin'?

[Whiterun Guard]

Reshape it as shwastikas.

[Ken Shultz]

That's pathetic.

[Ken Shultz]

She's in Louisiana.

People won't get the joke.

[Ken Shultz]

Maybe she could put it in a manger and surround it with three wise men and a camel?

You know...freedom of religion.

Rearrange it to quote the First Amendment.

[db]

What's the penalty if she doesn't take them down?

[Whiterun Guard]

A stocking full of coal.

Or they tase and shoot her reindeer.

[Whiterun Guard]

I could carol less about what the cops say she should do with her lights.

[db]

Don't sleigh the English language like that. It's "couldn't carol less."

[Ted S.]

It is possible that he carols a lot about this and as such could carol less about it.

She should be careful moving forward, lest a drone send down a mistletoe on her home.

Yule never do that again

I used to live really close to Denham Springs. It was a good place to live if you had a few pigs and goats. Otherwise, not so much.

We asked Denham Springs Police Chief Scott Jones what his plans were if the woman again puts up the display. "Well, I'll approach that when and if it happens," he said

, as he flipped us the bird.

Looking at the pic, I don't know what they can't tell it's a turkey.

In that letter, Esman wrote: "The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeal, which presides over Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi, has specifically commented on the protected expressive nature of a middle finger extended in defiance or protest: "The thumbed nose, the projected middle finger, the Bronx cheer, the grimace and the smile are all conduct intended to convey a message that is sometimes made even more expressive by its bold freedom from a garb of words."

"Also, the Buckwheat "O-tay", the Cupid shuffle, the electric slide, the Cleveland Steamer, the Shooter McGavin, the People's Elbow are all conduct intended to convey a message that is sometimes made even more expressive by its bold freedom from a garb of words."

The Macarena is still banned though, right?

I couldn't live in a world where that might pop up again.

[Ted S.]

I thought the Macarena has been replaced by Gangnam Shit.

That's funny. That chick has a serious attitude.
