Spring Hill officials find word `sexy' too lewd for salon's sign

SPRING HILL, Tenn. (AP) - The word "sexy" is just too sexy for a hair salon sign, Spring Hill officials have decided.

Cindy Landis, owner of the Studio 4 Hair & More salon, said city officials barred her advertisement after two residents complained that the words "Sexy Hair Concepts" were scrolling across a sign at the shopping center where she operates her business.

The phrase isn't one Landis made up to be provocative. It's the name of a product she sells.

"The sign was scrolling product names. There was Wella and Matrix, then Sexy Hair Concepts. To think that two people out of 20,000 (residents) can do this is ridiculous," she said.

7. My Boss is Almost as Prude

And I work up in New England. These people raile against violence and nudity, but are pro-war. I kid you not. My bosss actually made a statement, they he liked war. But show him a photo of somebody torn apart by warfare, and he gets repulsed. Yup.... These people live in a fantasy world.

2. Maybe people in Spring Hill, Tenn., don't have sex...

This country, or at least large parts of it, are a complete joke and an embarassment. There are condom machines in airports and bathrooms all over Europe, and even in Canada, but we can't put the word sexy on a marquee? No wonder we have the highest STD rates in the Western world.

6. Those inbred idiots are confusing "sexy hair" with "pubic hair"

because they are illiterate morons. "Hey, Maw! Ah gots bugs in my sexy hair, must'a got 'em from cousin LeRoy."

8. would the words

"support our bloodied maimed troops" be appropriate in this town?

(reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where the psycho Nam vet in the mailroom got promoted to write J. Peterman copy...)

10. "To think that two people out of 20,000...can do this is ridiculous"

That, my friends, is precisely what is wrong with America. The two out of 20,000 are controlling everything while calling themselves 20,000.
