Would this offend you?

ARASOTA, Fla.-- Tube Dudes are an iconic fixture in downtown Sarasota- a unique and artistic advertisement custom made for each business.
So when Kelly and Cheri Ireland decided to join the movement they never expected so much controversy.
"We really did try not to make it offensive in any way," said Cheri Ireland.
But for some, it was. As owners of a high end gun shop called Gunsmith Gallery, they commissioned two Tube Dude sculptures. One was a man holding a rifle the other was a woman holding a hand gun.
With a location on a particularly busy stretch of road the sculptures caught the attention of people passing by-- some in a negative way
"We had a couple of phone calls from people saying they were afraid," said Kelly Ireland. "They thought somebody was shooting at them, which we totally understand."

No, but then again I don't really get offended by much.

No.
Anyone offended by that is an a-hole.

They've already lost but don't know it yet. Tell those people to kiss your arse, lady.
Also, this reminded me of the old King of the Hill episode where peggy makes propane man sculptures.

If you can't tell from 50 feet at 45 mph that that's not a person you shouldn't be driving.

I can see why, since the violence across the nation is primarily committed by yellow metal men.
Makes sense.

It looks ridiculous and trashy, but it isn't scary.
