How's this for a yuck factor?

From here
A Cape Coral resident concerned about people having sex in a yacht club parking lot, took that concern to the streets.


Robert Payne, who lives next to the Cape Coral Yacht Club's overflow parking lot, recently placed used condoms he found in the lot on sticks and planted them in the street median in front of a sign at the entrance to the facility.

Payne's not-so-subtle message was a response to anger building among neighborhood residents over condoms littering the parking lot and other problems at the riverside park.

Payne and Mike Hermansen, who live adjacent to the park, are concerned that as the park grows, these problems need to be addressed before they get worse.

Payne had an interesting rationale:
..."I wanted to do my part as a concerned law-abiding citizen by removing the beautiful blue rubbers from the parking lot, but I was unsure what to do with them because they represent a biohazard waste product that should be properly disposed of.

"So to help you and your hazardous waste team out, I stuck each of them with a stick and planted them on Driftwood Drive in front of the welcome sign to the Yacht Club. There they hang tonight, flying in the breeze as a proud symbol of our freedom and the great traditions of Cape Coral. Much like our beloved flag."
Not sure whether to take that last comment tongue-in-cheek or as an outright slam...
