    I think there's more to this story. I'll bet she's a pain in the ass and the Easter decorations were the last straw.

    Isn't two weeks the span between Western Christian and Eastern Orthadox Easters anyway? (Or maybe not; the Calendars are two weeks apart but Easter is dictated by the moon). Meh, I'm too lazy to look it up.

    We have a neighbor who still has a HUGE wooden Easter bunny stuck in her front yard. So.....this doesn't sound so bad.

    She needs to move to Austria or Southern Germany, where there are huge, beautiful displays of Easter traditions. Except they are tasteful, festive, fun, often handmade, and WONDERFUL and beautifully crafted and never intrusive or sticky.


    Okay, so maybe she shouldn't move to Austria to have her Easter decortions up. Everyone would think she was wacko for using marshmallows rather than beautiful handmade decorations. Maybe she just needs to find an apartment with a code that allows tacky decorations up all year in America.

    @Dancingfrog: I have one of those eggs that are intricately painted. The woman who made it and gave it to me is of Czech ancestry and she makes them all the time. It is so beautiful that it's one of my most cherished things.

    Call me crazy, but I don't really feel bad for her. The decorations were on her patio, which in her lease says has to remain clear. And it seems that the landlord waited a while before he asked her to move them. And peeps and plastic grass don't exactly scream deep Christian faith to me.


    Cue O'Reily screaming about the war on Easter in 5...4...3...

    @Sputnik_Sweetheart: Not to mention, from what I understand, she wasn't evicted for the candy issue. She was evicted because she stopped paying rent to protest her Peeps being taken away. She was going to court to wriggle out of having to cough up $2000 to the landlord.

    Carol Burdick claims her landlord unjustly told her to remove a display of Easter stickers, plastic grass, and Peeps marshmallow candies from her door a few days after the April 12 holiday this year.


    I agree with this lady. I don't know about you guys, but I am a devout Marshmellowian and I have accepted Peeps as my personal saviour. I won't have my beliefs disrespected.

    My father was nearly evicted once for leaving the Christmas tree up until Easter. They called it a "fire hazard," but we all knew better: they were afraid of the depth of his faith.

    Ah yes, the oft-persecuted Tacky Shit That Doesn't Really Have Anything To Do With The Holiday religion. The ones responsible for giant inflatable snow globes for front yards, that witch flying into a tree Halloween thing, and all of the unnecessary commercialism of Tet.

    Her decor doesn't need religious protection, it needs bullshit protection. That is, unless her lease has language about the timely removal of seasonal decorations and/or limits and rules regarding general decoration visible to the outside world.

    @tonightineed is actually Mrs. Ziegler-Spock: According to the article, her lease says that the balconies and patios have to remain clear, so yes, her decorations were breaking the rules of her lease.

    @keldo: I recently drove by a house in my neighborhood that had a Christmas wreath still up. This wouldn't have been so bad if the wreath were plastic, but it was (at one time) a fresh wreath.


    Fresh wreaths look kind of nasty come June. Just sayin'.
