Utah man ordered to remove Halloween display featuring pole-dancing skeleton
They had a bone to pick with him.
A ꦆUtah community has ordered a resident to strip his “risqué” Halloween display from public property – one featuring a pole-dancing skeleton.
Christopher Fujishin’s display featured two skeletal onlookers offering money while “watching” another skeleton with a purple wig “dancing” on a city stop sign just outside his home in Grantsville, .
“Maybe a little risqué for some people but it’s all in the name of fun,” Fujishin told the outlet.
The city 🍃posted a photo of the display to its Facebook page, where it told him he𝓀 had until 9 p.m. Oct. 18 to remove it.
“Displays like this are not acceptable as it is against city code to attach anything to a street sign,” read the post.
The warning was later removed — but not before going viral and dividing the community.
“I guess teaching our children respect, decency and manners has gone by the side,” one user commented in favor of the city’s decision to remove it.
“If your kids understand what that is maybe the problem’s not the skeleton dancing on the pole, maybe it’s something else,” Fujishin replied.
He complied with the order and moved the skeletons to his own yard, wh🍌ere some residents expressed their support for his display – some also bringing more skeletons and decorations.
“We’re going to go tip them when we leave,” Carrie Sly, a server at The Outpost, told KSTU. “We know what it’s like to work for tips.”
“I think it brings a lot of good humor that we need to a small town,” resident Brandee Harris said.
Fujishin also found it all very humerus, saying: “We look forward to keeping this going and getting a little more elaborate as we go.”
