hahahahahahah...I gotta hand it to the guy. He's turned their own arguments about why it's OK to display disgusting art that offends Christians right around on'em. It's ART man. I love this guy, is he single???
snipped: " 'It's an expression of my repressed creativity,' Lake told WNCT." OMG this guy made my day. I'm not a Christian really I just get so tired of the hypocrisy.

The way I look at it is it's less offensive than a Santa-Shooting-Jesus display, and it does make a point -- not one that I agree with, being a huge Santa fan, but a point nonetheless. I can see how it might upset children being taken out to see Christmas lights, though.

Hah... I am totally on this guy's side...
A local society group always holds a yard decoration contest in our area and they always snub the festive yards on the less-than-influential streets where the houses aren't McMansions. I was so undone by it one time that I wrote a satirical blog entry about how I would decorate my yard to get back at the snobs, with things like a pimp Santa with 3 blowup dolls as his ho,ho,hos...
