Woman Gives Her Neighbours the Finger with Rude Christmas Lights Display

A woman added fuel to a festive feud by arranging her fairy lights in the shape of two huge middle fingers.

Sarah Childs, of Denham Springs, Louisiana, decided to flip the bird at her entire neighbourhood by setting up the offensive display on the roof of her house.

It's the second year running Childs has given locals the festive finger - part of a long standing argument with neighbours, one of whom she accuses of stealing her dog.

She shot to notoriety last Christmas by going to court to fight for her right have the controversial decorations on her roof after police threatened to arrest her.

She successfully sued, winning the right to offend neighbours in her uniquely festive fashion.

But shortly after putting the lights up for a second year, Childs says someone climbed on her roof, cut the display into little pieces and dumped it on her front lawn.

Undeterred, Childs decided to vent her rage by doubling the display - and put a pair of illuminated fingers up on her roof.

"They went on my roof, cut them all up, cut everything up." Childs told local newspaper The Advocate. "They did the firing shot. It's on."

The American Civil Liberties Union said the previous court case proved Childs had a constitutional right to place the giant middle finger on her house.

But locals claim Childs doesn't even live in the house any more and is just seeking attention.

"She doesn't live there," said neighbour Todd Traylor. "I don't even know why she's back."
