Ugly! Ugly! Ugliness!

I believe that the sign in the picture is known as a blade sign, though I could be wrong.  I do know that, regardless of content, this type of sign is totally inappropriate for downtown Hudson, or downtown anywhere, especially in a residential area and regardless of the district or zone.  

This obscene sign on Union Street is a stone's throw from the Hudson Code Enforcement office.  One wonders if Code Enforcement finds it to be acceptable.  If the sign is not a code violation, it certainly should be.

Once again, the question I often return to: Would this be acceptable on Warren Street for one day?  Would Code Enforcement still ignore it?

(Chapter 244-27 of our Code, Signs - Use of Moving Devices Prohibited, seems to render any signs that flutter in the breeze a violation, no matter where they are located.  This would likely include blade signs, though the word blade is not mentioned in the section.)
