Give Peace a … $25/Day Fine

More crazy stories from the good ol’ US of A.

This time, a Denver homeowners association is threatening to fine a resident USD$25/Day fine for having a Christmas wreath, shaped like a peace symbol on her house.

Apparently “some” residents complained because they had children serving in the US Armed Forces in Iraq, and found it offensive - others thought the peace sign was a symbol of Satan (…. right).  

Somehow, I don’t think the complainants were the brightest bunch. It’s probably also safe to say they weren’t pot smoking hippies in the 60’s, either.

Lisa Jensen (the tree-hugging, Satan worshipping, anti-Iraq, hippie resident) says she’s not going to take the sign down until after Christmas. Lisa says it will probably cost her about USD$1,000 for her little statement.

Good on ya Lisa, stick it to ‘em.
