Hanson, Massachusetts

Somebody taped over the little girl’s middle finger because, apparently, it is not child abuse to pay a little girl to model for a billboard with an obscenity, but someone within the zip code thought it was creepy so they covered it up.  Hansen, Massachusetts:  where creepy is the high standard of personal behavior.

This is only one of three signs Robert Sullivan has erected in front of his business.  Luckily, his lawyer is an idiot.

The offending finger has now been covered over with packing tape and the authorities are debating whether the boards are even legal, since owner Robert Sullivan did not get a permit from the building commissioner to put them up.

Town official Bob Curran said the eye-catching signs could be distracting and dangerous for pedestrians and drivers.

Mr Sullivan’s lawyer, however, said he is protected under the First Amendment and that he is entitled to ‘free speech’.

Ding!  Ding!  No prize for that one, Mr. Lawyer.  They do lack the required federal political disclaimer on them saying who paid for them.  We’re sorry you’re not our winner today, but please see John McCain for your consolation prize.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen who is a whole lot swankier than some guy in Hansen, Massachusetts
