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!
