LOL, there isn't one. People will be talking about that sign for years and he has gotten even more free publicity because of all this.

The official did not give him a reason why the sign needed to be removed


Later in the article they said the issue was lack of a permit and the city did not have issue with the content of the sign. It may be back up later on. Or something new and fun.

the owner said he’s not backing down.

Two days after the sign was installed, a Pell City sign enforcement official ordered Campbell to take it down in 24 hours

They’ve given me till 5 o’clock tomorrow evening to take it down. So it’s going to stay up ‘til 4:50 tomorrow afternoon,”



Sooo...it was up for just 2 days. They told him to remove it by 5pm the next day, which he says he is going to do. Yet, he's "not backing down"? That's exactly what he's doing, he's complying with everything they asked lol. Not backing down would be leaving the sumbitch up more than 2 days

I agree but he is getting free advertising because of this situation.

As someone who is both fat and ugly, I am not offended by it. Some people just can't accept the truth.

He's backing down on the permitting issue --- he admits to needing one and does not have one.

He is not backing down on the content.

Nope. Permit needed. City said they had no problem with the message. I think they were alerted to the sign by the complaint and realized that they had not received what they needed for a permit --- $$$$$$$$$$$$
