    Not far away we had what everyone called “Big Butter Jesus” or “Touchdown Jesus”:

    Image

    The “Big Butter” part comes from the region’s fascination with making butter sculptures:

    The “Touchdown” name, for those that don’t know USA Football (Grid Iron), this is the same gesture the referee makes to signal a valid goal:

    However, after being around for years, Touchdown Jesus is no more. I’m not making this up, it was struck by lightning and being made of fiberglass, burned to the ground.

        If the ending of my story was too abrupt, and you wanted to spend just a bit more time with Touchdown Jesus, here’s the video a passerby caught of Touchdown Jesus burning. You can see the fire fighting vehicle on the left hand side, and the occasional flashes of lighting as the storm that started the fire rages on.

    In Poland, we have this abomination:

    To make it worse, it stands looking upon a cheap supermarket and the sheet metal crown used to hide a cellphone tower. They removed it after they realized, that Jesus’ head is being used to transmit porn.

      It’s not why they removed it but there was a wi-fi antenna in it at one point.

    Is Jesus wearing a bra?

      No, but he should be with jugs like those.

        No, this is supply-side Jesus, and he’s barrel-chested because he wants to be like his idol, Melon Husk.

    Prove to me this isn’t a statue of Jonathan from Queer Eye

    We refuse to fund the statue, unless you include a subtle nod to hydrocephaly.
