Breasts and Letters
Artist Ed Stross faces a 30-day stint in jail unless the American Civil Liberties Union manages to overturn his conviction for painting the word "love" on his mural in this Detroit suburb.Read the article here.
Stross's long-running dispute with local officials is over his addition of the word to his mural in 1997 in memory of Princess Diana. The painting on the building housing his studio is based on Michelangelo's Creation of Man.
Roseville, Mich., officials say using letters in the mural violates a sign ordinance.
They also objected to Eve's bare breast in the painting.

Feb 6, 2010 The city of Roseville is is still prosecuting me over the word LOVE, I think one day I will be 6 feet under, and the city will dig me up, and take me to court for this charge . The State appealete court thru it out, but the city has decided it needs to retry it. Talk about Love gone bad!
