Pagans Pissed Because of Homer Simpson Drawing

From The Sun (visit story to see picture)

PAGANS have pledged to perform “rain magic” to wash away cartoon character Homer Simpson who 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.

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."

I can do some rain magic, but it’s not on a large enough scale to wash Homer away… and well, it’s not exactly rain nor magic. ;)

Ack. That seems funny to me. Also, the story is poorly written. What does this say to you?

She also expressed fears that the painting of Homer, from the animated television series The Simpsons, would cause a mess as it washed away.

During the Second World War, he was disguised to prevent the Germans from using him as an aerial landmark.

To me, that says Homer was disguised in WWII. Pretty cool feat of time travel…
