Giant 'Bra Fence' Sparks Controversy Official Says Fence Offends Asian Cultures, South Africans

A New Zealand man is resisting demands to take down hundreds of women's bras strung on his farm's fence after their night of drinking, according to a Local 6 News report.
"It was probably a novelty for the first six months but I think it's passed and we need to move on," said chairman Bill Gordon. "This town has got lot of Japanese students who get educated here. They are very offended by it as a lot of Asian cultures, South Africans."
For years, women returning from a pub in the nearby town of Wanaka have stopped at the fence and removed their bras.
A local sheep farmer, John Lee, has become the unofficial guardian of the site.
"They have got a magic quality about them, bras," Lee said. "For me, they have all my life."
Women have recently added their own to the fence, gaining the property worldwide publicity.
However, the Wanaka Community Board believes some locals are fed up with the unlikely tourist attraction and want it taken down.
"It was probably a novelty for the first six months but I think it's passed and we need to move on," said chairman Bill Gordon. "This town has got lot of Japanese students who get educated here. They are very offended by it as a lot of Asian cultures, South Africans."
Lee defended the bra-adorned fence, saying 90 percent of letters he receives about it are supportive.
He said it was the most photographed attraction in the district.

This guy is offering a service by offering women a place for their bras and the local bureaucrats are bent on taking this monument down
SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO STOP THESE #%&^ BUREAUCRATS!!!
Good post, got to keep abreast of these things you know!
Got a light?
I agree. Imagine the government telling this poor guy that he has to lock this beautiful monument in a chest somewhere. The local officials are just a bunch of boobs.
Yet at the same time they have no problem with animated tentacle rape or kiddie porn.
Okay, actually I'm not. They're libs.
Double-D Cross Your Heart?
The remaining 10% must be strapless ;-)
Judging by the fence, I'd say at least 20% were underwire. (look closely)

ROTFL, post of the month!

WTF is animated tentacle rape? That is going to bug me all day if I don't find out...

No, but we should make a field trip - don't you think?
