Offensive Halloween Decoration ?

The above-pictured halloween decoration is set up in a private yard on Highway 287 in north Amarillo.   And it is upsetting a whole lot of people.   They think it is offensive and want it taken down -- just think of the children!

Personally, I think it's rather humorous and well within the First Amendment rights of the private property owner.   If this is the worst thing a child ever sees (a stuffed scarecrow holding a beer can and shooting the bird at passing cars), then that child is very lucky indeed.   I have a hard time believing any child is going to be psychologically scarred by viewing this display.

What do you readers think?   Is this much ado about nothing, or is it too offensive for public display?
