Art?

Chad Michael Morrisette (who has a mannequin dressed like Gov. Palin hanging by a noose in his yard) would seem to be saying it’s okay, as long as it’s done in good fun.
He says "it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary it's time to be spooky."

How fun would it be if it was an Obama likeness hanging by that noose? Would it be OK because it's Halloween? I don't think so!

Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy In WeHo

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) ― A Halloween decoration showing a mannequin dressed as vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hanging by a noose from the roof of a West Hollywood home is drawing giggles from some passers-by and gasps of outrage from others.

The mannequin is dressed in brunet wig, glasses and a red business suit. Another mannequin dressed as John McCain emerges from a flaming chimney.

Chad Michael Morisette, who lives in the house, told CBS 2 News that drivers and bus passengers have been stopping to snap pictures of the macabre scene.

Morisette says the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween.

He says "it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary it's time to be spooky."

The heck with Obama, I think a "hanging Chad" would be funny! It would be appropriate for the election season as well as Halloween. LOL

This is sick & twisted - period!

Let's hope one of those doesn't appear - it would certainly add another distraction this election doesn't need.

I don't like any sort of realistic effigy of a living person hanging by a noose.

LOL, most excellent!


But as for hanging a public servant in effigy and excusing it as "art", I think it's in very poor taste.

In very poor taste, and could be construed as a threat.

"art" ????? I don't think so.
