Kegs, Single-Finger Salutes Allowed in NJ Town

The Jersey shore town of Belmar has repealed laws that banned unregistered beer kegs and giving someone the finger. Apparently Belmar had instituted these laws to clean up its image as "Fort Lauderdale North" but Belmar's mayor told the AP the rules were hard to enforce. Belmar still has other strict rules as well as code enforcement officers who regularly crack down on summer renters with, say, empty beer cups left on front porches, and give more expensive noise violation fines the later it is. Most amazingly, the town maintains an "Animal House Map."
