Given the public nature of the display (assuming it is real) it would not at all surprise me to learn that they actually could get in trouble for "obscenity" due to some ass backwards law somewhere on the books. Especially in Virginia, where everything is famously illegal.

    I believe it's in Ireland.

    If it's real, I'm surprised they didn't spell it. I'd think the Irish wouldn't give a fxck.

    That would make sense, especially if I scrolled up far enough to look at the community name...

    There's another one in Virginia. Go figure.

    Perhaps it's a fill in the blank holder for international readers. In Ireland an 'e' would be appropriate. Elsewhere a 'u'.

    Joking aside, I thought it was silly until someone else pointed out that doing this makes it more likely to be picked up by mainstream media.

    If that was her motivation it was smart AF. There's an audio interview with the lady involved and it wouldn't surprise me but she doesn't go into it.
