			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wftv.com/news/15735444/detail.html">Business Owners, Customers Upset Over Controversial Billboard</a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong class="Dateline">ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. &#8212; </strong>It looked harmless enough, but the words on a billboard un-nerved so many people that a popular restaurant nearby actually lost business.</p>
<p>The billboard was on Colonial Drive near the Old Cheney Highway. Although the popular Straub&#8217;s Seafood restaurant often advertises on it, this wasn&#8217;t their billboard.</p>
<p>The sign was taken down after Channel 9 started asking questions.</p>
<p>The billboard came down around 4:00 Friday afternoon and nearby business owners are relieved. Straub&#8217;s restaurant can replace the sign with the night&#8217;s specials.</p>
<p>At first glance the sign looked like a children&#8217;s cartoon, but the message next to the fairy princess stirred emotions.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you condemn all religions and say they are a fairytale that is wrong,&#8221; said Rich Stormes, a nearby business owner.</p>
<p>The billboard went up a week before Easter and business at the restaurant went down.&#8221;Easter Sunday is usually a busy good day,&#8221; said John Russel, an employee at Straub&#8217;s. &#8220;Easter Sunday business was down by two thirds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since it&#8217;s so close, John Russel&#8217;s customers thought the restaurant paid for the billboard. To clear any confusion up, Russel put up a sign of his own and called MediaNet, the company who owns the billboard.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been causing us some problem. I think it&#8217;s causing a bit of controversy city wide. People have been contacting the media,&#8221; Russel added.</p>
<p>MediaNet said it had no idea the sign was there and someone put it up illegally in the middle of the night.</p>
<p>Nearby business owners said they weren&#8217;t buying it.</p>
<p>&#8220;They should have known what was going up on the billboard. He should proof it. He had to proof it,&#8221; Stormes stated.</p>
<p>The billboard rents for $1,400 a month. If an anti-religious group paid to rent it legitimately there is not telling how long it would have been up.</p>
<p>Orange County does not regulate messages on billboards. They are protected by free speech.
