I would suggest some grass killer be liberally applied at about zero dark thirty...but that's just me.
If they know what it means, then it's no big shock to their systems, and if they don't know, then it's meaningless to them.

The message was MOW ME
I"m of two minds on this...one is it's a shame that the neighborhood kids do have to see this. And it's too bad he's such an immature grump that if someone asked him to mow this is his response.
The other is, it's his private property and if he wants to let grass get >10 inches, well that's a shame too - but it's his property.
Yanno, for all the effort it took him to mow the obscenity into his yard, he could have just cut the flippin' grass.
ROFL!
Like the kids who are old enough to read have never heard it before?
This should be interesting.
One comment: If that mom thinks her kids have not heard the expression at school, she's sadly mistaken.
Another comment: If the law says 10" is the height of grass that allows for ticketing, then the guy's within his rights not to cut it. I hate lawnmowing nazis.
I mow once a week. In the Summer, that means the grass can get up to 6" tall between mowings here in MN. I had a nasty neighbor contact me the day before I was going to mow, threatening to contact the local authorities about my overgrown lawn. I told her approximately the same thing this guy mowed into his lawn. The next day, on schedule, I mowed my lawn, which I keep at 3.5".
Just have the neighbors go over with their own lawn mowers and modify his lawn literature read "Book You"
Takes care of the obscenity and that pesky mowing problem.
Just think if someone mowed. "Jesus loves you"
The outrage!!!
If I didn't have 10 inch weeds on my property I wouldn't have anything green, let alone "lawn." I live at the end of a deadend road next to thousands of acres boasting various "weeds" 10 inches or longer. So I guess I blend in well.
I enjoy my uncivilized "lawn."
The neighborhood council should get off his back.
Wasn't this a Simpsons episode?
Here's how a neighborhood should work.
Several years ago, when we had the big house, I noticed a neighbors lawn was probably getting close to 8 or 10 inches.
I finished mowing mine and just went across the street and started on theirs. In about 10 minutes, another neighbor had sent his boy down to pitch in. Soon thereafter there was four of us mowing, trimming and blowing.
In no time the yard looked fine.
A few days later the owners returned from the funeral in Colorado to find they had one less thing to worry about.
Obscene crop circles. So that's how they are made, with lawn mowers!
A word to the wise ...
Looks like some neighbors should have minded their own business in the first place. They wanted the grass cut - they got the grass cut. Be careful what you ask for......
Hey...at least he didn't use a chemical spray cannister of Roundup to write his note.
