So, I was reading FARK tonight at work, and I found a link to this article. It seems a guy in Omaha was a bit upset about the city telling him he had “excessive grass and weeds” in his yard.. to get back at the city, he exercised his first amendment rights.. and mowed his response into the lawn.. while no one will say anything other then ‘it was a two word expletive’.. I have a feeling its ‘fuck you’ as, that would be my response to someone telling me that I needed to mow more often. Here’s my favorite quote from the article:
City codes dictate that lawns taller than 10 inches can be ticketed, but Parks and Planning officials said that unless the grass that formed the expletive met that criterion, there was nothing they could do to force its removal.
My guess is, that the city (and neighbors probably) will be a bit more careful from now on about asking this guy to mow his lawn…
