Tennessee store drapes nude statues

http://www.dazereader.com/24000215.htm Tennessee landscaping store covers up nude statues after complaints.

Then, about three weeks ago, two people, one of them a customer, phoned the G&L Garden Center to say it was way too much and asked the owners to please move them around back.

But the statues weigh as much as 500 pounds each and are an ordeal to move. So owners Angie Langford and Pam Gregory came up with a different approach to customer service.

Nearly a dozen concrete statues are sporting crimson velvet two-piece sarongs — as if Santa had a bikini team.

All the townspeople quoted in the article think it's absurd. (Link snagged from J. Orlin Grabbe.)
