Dunno. "Atrocious" is pretty subjective. I've been paying a bit more attention to that these last few days and have seen everything from pink flamingos, praying concrete angels, a rather large statue of the Buddha, Several BVM depictions (neighbor back home put one in her yard. Neighbors dubbed it "Our Lady of the Bathtub"), a couple of stars (6-pointed), a concrete statue of a Dalmatian wearing a hat, several gazing balls, a nativity statuette deal that seems more-or-less permanent, a painted concrete tiger (maybe lion--hard to tell w/faded paint and all), etc. etc., as well as the white crosses. I was not much offended by any of it.

Too many professionally offended people around, unfortunately.
