On Sarasota's North Tamiami Trail, two mannequins are causing controversy.
Some people say they're offensive.
The man who put up the display says he wanted to offend his neighbors and the city of Sarasota.
People have recently sent e-mails to Sarasota city commissioners asking for help to please have this man take these mannequins down.
But city commissioners say, believe it or not, he's not violating any city code.
The owner of this now empty building... commonly referred to as the mirrored house... has put these female mannequins on display in the window.
Arnold Herbst, a neighbor to the windows, says "one day, he'll put the tops on the mannequins, the next day he'll just take them down."
Herbst lives in the neighborhood and says the women are often placed in different sexual positions.

Just the kind of disgusting idiot every neighborhoos needs. I hope they find a way to nail his hide to the wall.

Must have seen the Sienfeld episode about the mannequin who looked like Elaine.

Bikini clad beauticians and barbers? He didn’t open his shop because he couldn’t find enough of them who looked good in a bikini. LOL

Reminds me of some neighborhood pranksters who changed the lady-down-the-street’s Christmas reindeer display so the deer were all in various sexual positions. She was not amused.

off-topic, but, just saw the Simpson Movie last night. Hysterical. Lots of laughs from beginning to end. Yes, it's like an overly long episode, but it's really more like an overly long good episode. Nothing wrong with that.

The only naked woman that's offensive is an inanimate one. Mannequin Porn.

On another note, it still amazes me that Tamiami Trail begins as SW 8th Street (Calle Ocho) in Miami, and ends in Michigan near the Canadian border.

"I plan on having a beautiful staff of ladies in designer swimwear kind of theme with the beach town we are." But the salon never opened. Douthitt couldn't get the proper permits and neighbors complained. They didn't want that type of business in their neighborhood.
Wouldn't want swimwear in a resort town. There's probably more to this story.

I saw it last Friday; I laughed my butt off from beginning to end.

Why are they called mannequins if they are female? They should be called femalequins.

That’s good to hear, I saw some of the trailers and it didn’t look that good. How is it from a kids point of view? Can I take my 7yr. old to it?

That said, you see Bart's "weiner" at one point, and there was one "goddamned" at the end, which was for shock value (and it worked for that moment for many in the theater). I remember that there was probably other language that you wouldn't hear on the show scattered through, but I really don't remember anything specific, other than the aforementioned "G-d".
My 11-yo son had a wonderful time and the thing he's talking about most this morning is the Alvin and the Chipmunks trailer. (We saw a lot of trailers and commercials because we got there early. You know, I knew that they were remaking "The Bionic Woman", but I didn't know that she was going to have a British accent.)
