Don't put Genitals on your Snowman in South Carolina.

[Ichingcarpenter]

UNION COUNTY, S.C. — A Union County deputy responded to a complaint about an obscene snowman, and despite disagreeing with the deputy, the snowman maker eventually agreed to remove the offending body parts.

Monday morning, a deputy spoke to the 45-year-old man who lives on Buffalo Westsprings Highway about the dyed-pink, male genitals on the snowman in his yard

According to the police report, the man told the deputy that the snowman was on his private property, so he believed he could display the snowman with the pink parts left in place.

The deputy told the man he could either remove the genitals or be charged if he refused. The man said he disagreed, but he removed the offending parts from the snowman to avoid arrest.

1. Pink ?

Pair of hairy coconuts might have been more acceptable. :rofl:

3. Pink because it was cold outside?

I'm reminded of Calvin and Hobbes snowmen.









And Finally





More snowman art from Calvin

8. For whatever reason

your images won't display but I searched and got your drift.......no pun intended.

On reflection I may have been a bit over generous with the coconuts and had concluded kiwi fruits might be more appropriate.

12. They display fine on both my iTouch and iMac

using safari..... I just checked both.

22. Same here on Inet Explorer ... nt

[BlueMTexpat]

21. Or walnuts - if it was really cold ... nt

[sadbear]

24. That's what I was thinking

In that kind of cold, anatomically correct male genitals wouldn't be visible.

25. LOL - great minds! nt

30. Angelfire blocking hotlinking on both of my browsers.

You have the images cached on your machine, we do not. Angelfire sucks. We now make fun of you. How your ears must burn from our nerdy disdain.

It's not your fault.

6. Yeah, but are you allowed to have balls on your truck? n/t

[OwnedByFerrets]

14. Bingo!!!

[boobooday]

7. Once I made a snowman with breasts

Would that be illegal? I thought I was demonstrating equal rights to my 4 year-old daughter, but for some reason, as soon as I slapped the breasts on the thing she burst into tears.

Violating snowman expectations, I suppose.

10. I put more Calvin/hobbes toons further up but here you go.

23. Hmmmm, still hard to judge the level of obscenity.

The pic doesn't have a close-up of the snow balls in question.

:evilgrin:

[marmar]

27. Only in America would a TV station feel the need to blur fake snow genitalia.....

This is a Puritanically crazy place.
