Halloween is just around the corner and there are decorations up around town, it all looks festive and fun, but I think the pub around the corner from my house has gone a bit too far and put something outside their pub which has really irritated me and I'm interested to know if other parents would feel the same or am I being over sensitive? Basically they have strung up some blood splattered body parts on the front of the pub; specifically a corpse which has been severed at the waist and below the knees, which is wearing blood splattered clothes and is hanging by ropes - the pub is directly opposite and in full view of a children's playground.
Am I over reacting to think that I don't want my daughter to see this horrible thing, or any children for that matter? It's on a main road so kids will be going past in cars all day and seeing it.
Just to clarify I have nothing against Halloween. My daughter has two Halloween parties this weekend and will be dressing up. My neighbours across the road have decorated their house for Halloween and it looks great, it's ghosts, pumpkins, witches etc. It's the gory stuff, blood and guts and specifically dismembered body parts (horrible!!!) in public that I object to.
Is it just me? Would the rest of you mind your kids seeing something like that?
