Group claims the Wienermobile broke law in Hawaii

[July 24, 2009]  HONOLULU (AP) -- Not everyone would love to be an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile these days.

The Outdoor Circle, an environmental group dedicated to protecting Hawaii's scenery, claims the beloved hot dog-shaped vehicle is in violation of the Hawaii's ban on vehicular advertising.

The group says it hopes the Wienermobile's recent visit to Hawaii will be its last.

Kraft Foods spokeswoman Syd Lindner says to the company's knowledge, it did not violate any laws and secured all proper permits.

The beef comes less than a week after another a Wienermobile lost control and crashed into a Wisconsin house.
