Perhaps using the word to describe something colorful and positive will help some reduce their negative associations and fears.

I was there, I can only speak for myself in saying it does not bother me. Don't let two pieces of scum ruin a word for eternity.

Make a pompom!

Thanks for posting this! I hope people around Boston are inspired to make pompoms and to add them to this tree. :)

I'm inspired!

Love the yarn-bombing pompoms. Wondering who is the perpetrator.

South End yarn bombers expanding to Back Bay?
