Pole Dancing Skeleton Display – Too Far?
Did they go too far with this halloween display?
Every year, there are debates over controversial Halloween decorations . . . usually because they’re graphic or gruesome. It’s rarely because they’re TOO SEXY.
Some residents of a neighborhood in Utah are upset about a Halloween decoration that shows a skeleton POLE-DANCING . . . on a STREET SIGN. Two other skeletons sit on chairs nearby . . . holding up fake bills.

The guy who created the display is Christopher Fujishin.
Neighbors complained . . . and the city told him he needed to take it down, because it’s a code violation to have anything hanging on a street sign . . . even skeletal erotic dancers. (Here’s a photo.)

Christopher complied . . . but he just moved the display onto his own property. He also made it BIGGER, and added lights, music, and more skeletons.

Neighbors who LIKE the display have even dropped off their own decorations to ADD to it.
Others still don’t like it. One neighbor said, “I guess teaching our children respect, decency, and manners has gone by the side.”
In fairness, Halloween isn’t a huge “decency” and “manners” holiday.
(Trick-or-treating is kids disguising themselves as evil characters . . . coming to your house . . . and making idle threats unless you “pay them off” in candy. It’s cute . . . but let’s be honest.)
Christopher admits that it’s a “little risqué,” but he says it’s just meant to be fun. He also says, “If kids understand what that is . . . maybe the problem is something else.”
So what do you think? Did they go too far with this halloween display? (I’m going to say no…it’s funny – but our sense of humor is a little different)
(Here’s a local news report about it.)
Now if you’re really trying to keep on the good side of your neighbors this halloween – you can always hand out the right candy. Here’s what to avoid
