‘Zombie nativity’ back in Ohio yard a year after controversy
SHEILA VILVENS / THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER VIA AP
The roof of the zombie nativity set structure was removed Dec. 4, bringing it into compliance with zoning regulations.
CINCINNATI >> A “zombie nativity” that spurred complaints and zoning violation notices last year is on display again in a suburban Cincinnati yard, with a change to avoid fines.
Officials have concluded Jasen Dixon’s display complies with local zoning laws because he has removed its roof. Sycamore Township zoning administrator Harry Holbert says the issue was always about the structure and zoning rules, not the zombie figures.
The scene includes a sharp-toothed, grayish figure with black-ringed eyes sitting in the manger where the baby Jesus would be in traditional Christmas nativities.
Dixon was threatened with fines last year when officials said the display violated rules on size and placement of yard structures. WCPO-TV (http://bit.ly/1Q06PxD) reports he removed it before being cited and didn’t have to pay fines.

Anyway you look at it is blasphemy to the celebration of the birth of the Infant Jesus!
So what if it is? Actually have you looked at people in stores today, especially on Black Friday or what ever? Make zombies look calm. lol
Not a surprising statement from someone who thinks all those serving in the military are “stupid”.
Let us pray the face of Allah is not displayed this way or Cincinnati would have hell to pay for it.
I’m not much for praying, Allie, but I do agree with your point that had this been a representation of Allah, the reaction is likely to have been way worse.
Agree with Allie & you…terrorists have changed our way of thinking.
Ha!ha!ha!ha! Good one Allie! It would be kinda hard ,since NO ONE has ever seen Allah’s face? Now if the depiction was that,of the Prophet Muhammad? Hell to pay for it? Yeah! Indeed!
