Ansell, an electrician, has a display on his yard that features a beheaded choir, a hanging Mickey Mouse and even a urinating Santa Claus that lights up at night.


quote:

One sign on Ansell's home may offer a clue as to why. It says, “This display is dedicated to Ross Township. Shame on you for destroying my display that brought so much joy and happiness to so many people.” Years ago, Ansell's home was known for its lustrous lights and dazzling display that attracted many onlookers.


quote:

The worst sign, the neighbors said, included disparaging remarks about neighbor Tom White's late wife, posted the day after she died.


The City shut down his "Christmas Vacation" style display, so he went the opposite way.

The whole story sounds a lot worse than just that.

The guy sounds like a grade A douche.

I'm surprised one of those Christmas lights haven't caught on fire yet.

No, you didn't.

Fairley Road is a unique cul-de-sac; a circular street with Ansell's house right in the middle, surrounded by six other homes.

gee wilikers, with all those nails and 'lectric wires everywhere, I hope a short doesn't happen...

You know, like if a nail punctured a gas can and the gas dripped on a wire and burned that stupid shitshow to the ground.

Gosh, that would be just awful.

I was expecting a story that his neighbors were complaining and harassing him, but it sounds like they were being very reasonable.

This reminds me of the past Christmas thread where the lady had the lit-up middle-finger display on her roof. Denham Springs, maybe? Whatever happened with that, she continuing the tradition this year?
