"[READING, Ohio] A busty mannequin used to promote a restaurant was
back on the job Thursday.

" 'Bar Be Q' was placed in front of K.T.'s Barbecue in Reading at
about 11:30 a.m. Thursday by her owner, Kenny Tessel. The mannequin
was dressed in a more conservative top instead of the bikini that
stirred up controversy earlier in the week."

They actually have zoning laws prohibiting mannequins in bikinis?


One of the zoning board members must own a competing restaurant.




Well, in this case, I could see banning it as a traffic hazard. Every
male driver rubbernecking to make sure it wasn't a real woman, would
be prone to running into things.


Yeah, but a REAL woman in a bikini would be legal! Evidently.

But, I know what you mean. Several years ago I was driving down a
residential street where the garbage cans were set out on the curb for
pickup. Sticking out of one can were two legs from what turned out to be a
mannequin.

The first thought I had was "Someone has thrown away a perfectly good
woman!"

I slowed to investigate and, sure enough, it was the better half of a fake
female.
