Woman's toilet planters create stink in Ill. town

OK, so a toilet planter with red geraniums is a classic redneck motif, but I'd still like to see pictures! And even though I've had to file this under Humor, there is a larger question here: who owns the house? Ms. Asmus, or the local constabulary?

Private property, indeed.

AP - The planters in Tina Asmus' front yard aren't too pleasing to some of her neighbors, and village officials in Lakemoor have told her to remove them, or face a fine. Asmus, who likes to recycle discarded items, created the planters out of two old toilets and a pedestal sink. Mayor Todd Weihoffen, who is a plumber by trade, said he stands behind police who have given Asmus 30 days to remove the toilets.
