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".

You have to be kidding! Turn on the TV, nakedness everywhere!I think some people look for something to harass others about!
Blimmen mad, isn't it? Another silly British *over the top* thing to laugh about.

This post reminds me of the gnomes in the hilarious Full Monty!
Naughty gnomes!
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!
I hate the fun police.
LOL, what a crock! And I love what ellen abbott said!
Oh this is just too silly! Wot's next? Cover up all the paintings in the Hermitage and Tate? Or the statuary in Florence? We've got naked statues all over the place round here! I am not offended by art!
Too funny!
LOL!
Whats next?The clothes the poor lady puts on gnomes will bring the "fashion police"?!
Small, bearded men with pointed hats and visible garden ornaments. I want one of those!
Nakky gnomes outlawed? What is this world coming to?
