Paris Hilton display upsets neighbors

Some people go with a reindeer ornament or an inflatable Santa Claus for their holiday lawn display. Joe Moretti went with Paris Hilton.

Moretti’s display features a collection of blown-up images of Hilton adorned with pink lights. In one, she sports a tiny pink top hiding little of her chest, in another, she wears knee-high boots and a sultry pout. Even Hilton’s faithful Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, is celebrated in a colorful portrait.

Reaction has been mixed, and some say it is inappropriate.

"If it’s offending anyone, I apologize," Moretti, 38, said. "That’s not the intent. The intent is to be different and to be creative and let them see a little bit of Hollywood or New York — bring it to Cranston."

The display includes a list entitled "How to Be a Hilton," complete with tips such as: "An entrance is everything," "NEVER wake before 10 a.m." and "NEVER spend the summer in NYC." A number of cars slowed or came to a complete stop on the busy road as they passed Moretti’s house Thursday afternoon.

"It’s nothing more than they could see on TV, on normal stations — or actually at school," said Stefanie D’Angelos, 28, who has four children.

Ron Raffonelli, 65, said he would be upset if his young grandchildren came to associate Christmas with a naked woman. He’d prefer the kids to think of Santa Claus.

After all, Raffonelli said, "He’s been around longer."
