Calling a Christmas holiday display for The Flying Spaghetti Monster (pictured above) silly, Mayor Jim Schmitt of Green Bay Wisconsin has declared a moratorium on all religious displays. This is a reversal of an earlier ruling of the Green Bay City Council which invited all religions to include religious displays alongside the Nativity Scene put up by City Council President Chad Fradette.
Problems arose after a Wiccan symbol was stolen and damaged. The mayor then declared the whole idea was causing controversy and hard feelings, which was the opposite of what was intended.
Yeah, just wait until the Green Bay Packers lose the Super Bowl, if they even make it that far. If Bret Favre throws a lot of interceptions and fumbles a lot, though, don't blame him. You won't see him, of course, but it could well be The Flying Spaghetti Monster reaching out with his noodly appendage.
