Puritans Run Amok!

thumb_the_weir

The Marblehead Reporter has this, Last call for sign with pint glass:
The Board of Selectmen last week declined to reconsider its decision to deny the Mugford Street Players theater troupe's request to display sandwich boards advertising its upcoming performances of "The Weir" because the advertisement was to include the image of an arm protruding from a full pint glass of beer.
This has taken censorship too far.

First they come for the sandwich boards, next they'll be censoring the beer labels themselves!

Sheesh.
