Greta Garb

Sounds Like A Classic Cover-Up

A West Midlands grandmother has been told to cover up three of her garden gnomes - because they're naked. The figures have stood outside her home for 15 years. But a council official warned her to put clothes on them because they were causing "offence".

FOOTNOTE: Figures of speech.

  9. By all means, protect your childrens eyes from the nakedness of cartoon garden gnomes with no anatomy... but let them walk right by that group of kids on the street wearing pants that are cut so low, even Brittney Spears is shocked.

    What, are we going to sensor the entire world now? Craziness.

    Great post David!
