Red, Green Lights To Be Banned Because They’re Too Christmasy
November 7, 2007 @ 8:22 am
Filed under: You have got to be f@*#ing kidding me:

This must be the city.

A special task force in a Colorado city has recommended banning red and green lights at the Christmas holiday because they fall among the items that are too religious for the city to sponsor.

“Some symbols, even though the Supreme Court has declared that in many contexts they are secular symbols, often still send a message to some members of the community that they and their traditions are not valued and not wanted. We don’t want to send that message,” Seth Anthony, a spokesman for the committee, told the Fort Collins, Colo., Coloradoan.

He said the recommended language does not specifically address Christmas trees by name, but the consensus was that they would not fall within acceptable decorations.

Yes......well........here in the PNW, just to put you travelers in the holiday spirit Birch trees will adorn our International Airport even though you won't find a natural occurring Birch Tree within thousands of miles.

We do have millions of indigenous Cedar and Fir, but they are too Christmas like and might offend someone.
