Peace Sign Creates Stir

Trying to link the universally-recognized peace sign with anti-christ symbols, a homeowners association in Colorado, U.S., has decided to put its jackbooted foot down.

This has resulted in the forced resignation of "every member of the subdivision's five-person Architectural Control Committee, [who were] asked to resign when they collectively opposed the decision by the board of directors to fine Jensen and Trimarco."

Is this part of the Attack on Christmas? Or the War on Peace? Or the "Feed The South Park Creators Fund"?

You decide.

She was informed by letter from the Loma Linda Homeowners' Association that "Loma Linda residents are offended by the Peace Sign displayed on the front of your house."

The letter, citing a use-restriction banning "signs, billboards or advertising structures of any kind" within the subdivision without prior approval, said the wreath had to come down by Friday, or Jensen and husband, Bill Trimarco, would face a $25-per-day fine.

Jensen said Saturday that Friday's deadline had come and gone without contact from the board of directors. She was unsure of how, if imposed, collection of any fine would be enforced, but planned to leave all of her Christmas decorations, including the wreath, up until after Christmas.
