Who doesn't love a truly creative Halloween display?

Residents of Grantsville, Utah, were divided over a recent scene that included three skeletons and a ... street sign.

While skeleton tableaus are common lawn decorations in the weeks approaching Halloween, this display was a bit different. It featured two skeletons in beach chairs, watching a third skeleton hanging upside down from the aforementioned street sign, wig dangling, clearly portraying a pole dancer.

Behold.

The town of Grantsville issued a warning on their public Facebook page, in a post that has since been deleted, saying that the people who were responsible for the display needed to take it down by that evening, or the city would come and take it down for them—and confiscate the skeletons.

The city code they referenced? Not one against lewd displays, but one concerning what they can legislate: what people attach to city property—in this case, street signs.

"To the person responsible for this display:
You have until 9pm tonight (October 18) to take down your decorations or they will be removed by the city and you will have to pick up your items at our Public Works Building. Displays like this are not acceptable as it is against city code to attach anything to a street sign."


People in the comments loved the display, though.

Except for the inevitable: "Won't someone think of the children?"

Which was met by a general eyeroll.

The owner of the skeletons did remove the set up, and erected it on their lawn instead. With music.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Biggest Financial Mistakes People Make In Their 20s

It can be really fun to experience something for the first time that you've never really had before, like a disposable income.

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
