Trashy Singles

If you're as sick of all that "Single?" litter on the streets of Lincoln as I am, you'll be glad to know that a woman has been ticketed for the offense. Kathryn Welch-Macaitis claims she didn't know what she was doing is illegal, which of course explains why the signs always seemed to pop up overnight rather than in the light of day. In some ways it's a shame that Welch-Macaitis is the one being punished. The real offender is the company. My quick research indicates that the company is pretty shady. Here's what I believe to be the company's contact information: NuStar Solutions, S.A. El Cangrejo, F Street Building No. 13, Main Floor Panama City, Panama info@nustarsolutions.com Unfortunately, the worst thing about the stupid signs is that they have made other local businesses more bold about putting litter of their own around town. My wife's employer happens to be one such offender. Hopefully now that there's a little publicity about the illegality of this sort of advertising they will stop.

So, if these signs are litter, it must be okay to pick up as many as I happen to come across in the course of my day? We should all do our part to keep the city beautiful.

The clean-up of those signs begins just in time for political signs for the primaries. Has anyone else noticed that Clare is running for Regent? Or is that just me? Jeepers.

But what if I am really single?  Where do I turn to now?

I find it EXTREMELY hard to buy into the fact that she “didn’t know” this was illegal.  Especially after all the publicity in regards to this issue.

With that said.  I think that SOMEHOW the company should be held responsible for hiring someone to do something that is KNOWN te be an illegal activity.

We have the same thing going on here in Houston.  The signs give the impression that it’s a local site, for example “GalleriaSingles” instead of “HoustonSingles”, but I knew something was amiss when a WHOIS search showed no address in the listing and I noticed the “S.A.”.

Thanks for doing the legwork and proving my suspicion correct.  😊
