Doh! Homer Painting Upsets Pagans
 

From Sky News

Pagans have pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash away cartoon character Homer Simpson after he was painted next to their famous fertility symbol - the Cerne Abbas giant.

The 17th century chalk outline of the naked, sexually aroused, club-wielding giant is believed by many to be a symbol of ancient spirituality.

Many couples also believe the 180ft giant, which is carved in the hillside above Cerne Abbas, Dorset, is an aid to fertility.

A giant 180ft Homer Simpson brandishing a doughnut was painted next to the well-endowed figure in a publicity stunt to promote The Simpsons Movie released later this month.

It has been painted with water-based biodegradable paint which will wash away as soon as it rains.

Ann Bryn-Evans, joint Wessex district manager for The Pagan Federation, said: "It's very disrespectful and not at all aesthetically pleasing.

"We were hoping for some dry weather but I think I have changed my mind. We'll be doing some rain magic to bring the rain and wash it away."

She added: "I'm amazed they got permission to do something so ridiculous. It's an area of scientific interest."

Some accurately timed 'Rain Magic' which coincides with a day that was forecast to rain all along should do the trick.

Wonder if it's gone now?

Didn't something similar happen with the BB4 eye?

I have no idea??

The BB eye was done as a crop circle

I must find it highly reckless of Hollywood to cause such dessecration and incur the ire of the Pagans, making them retaliate with rain magic to flood out so many homes.

I visited the Pagan Federation website and already they are trying to deny responsibility (link)

You could not make this up

It was also done as a chalk drawing, a sand drawing and a stone sculpture.

The lazy cows! they could just scrub it off instead of invoking mysterious spirits!

That is what I thought

I wonder if anyone will try and sue the Pagan Federation

some people are so uptight
