RIP I.P. Freely

 

A woman in Centerville, MN has had several complaints made regarding her Halloween Tombstone Display. It has names such as IP Freely, Hugh Jass, Mike Hunt, and Ben Dover, among others.

Her Immediate neighbors have not complained, but several people have complained to the city and officials are working to determine if the display violates the cities nuisance ordinance

Cindy Bohm, Heather Pranke's Neighbor said "If you don't like it, don't look at it."
Last year, police were called to see if she would remove the tombstones voluntarily.

  How anally retentive have you got to be to object  
 
to something like this? I mean for the love of all that is unholy, it's just a display! If her immediate neighbors can deal with it, can't the rest of those busybodies do the same thing?

But the name though :) Heather Pranke :)

  Some people  
 
Just can't handle if something isn't "proper". Of course, they probably are into really freaky things themselves, and need to make themselves feel better by being all self-righteous about stuff like this...

  Hmm  
 
To interpret those names as profanity then you have to already know the words they imply...I would doubt little kids would know how to interpret "Mike Hunt"...so who cares?

  Pretty funny actually  
 
No problem with the tombstones.

  if its on  
 
not on your land why do you care?
Really come on this may still fall under 1st amendment anyhow...

What about those obnoxious billboards that are a mile high that say “Jesus died for you”?
I say these nuts need to screw off.

Signs in your yard mentioning: urination, c*nts, a*ses, and doggystyle...

Poor taste, especially when placed in front of the public and children. Also remove your pink flamingos while you're at it, white trash.

"Signs in your yard mentioning: urination, c*nts, a*ses, and doggystyle..."

Yes people should stick with dismebered corpes and bloody heads. These people should be shot; halloween used to be so classy..... End sacrism

"Poor taste, especially when placed in front of the public and children."

They are just names it doesn't Say I pee freely. It doesnt say Bend Over people who view them that way must have the same amount of taste.

"Also remove your pink flamingos while you're at it, white trash."

Omg the public can see the white trash comment and think of the kids!!!

I surely hope you were joking because you come of sooooo ignorant.

  Another lovely little joke  
 
that most people wouldn't have noticed until someone pointed it out to them. How many people actually read those tombstones?

  some of them  
 
have been on the simpsons...
I.P. Freely, Huge Jass, Ben Dover etc, not the mike hunt one but still. Bart constnaly calles moes with names like these and the simpsons is not censored AND kids watch it. so how can the names be bad? also considering i know someone called mike hunt, he goes by michael to avoid constant jokes though.

  South Park and Simpsons unite  
 
Let Trey Parker, Matt Stone with Matt Groening, Sam Simon and co destroy the critics with an episode full of these wacky names sounding like humorous words...give me a break. It's on her property, she has a right to..If it was in public it comes down to commmon sense and decency and would be against the law only to a minor degree.


Lol Heather Pranke...Prank the hanky poo or Pranky hanky. Or Pranke-aches...now that one was gold! I tell ya Jerry Gold! Pranke-tein ahaha on fire..
