Pagan idol declines Homer’s doughnut offer Who knew that pagans were so touchy? According to an item on abcnews.com, pagans in England are enraged that a “180-foot-tall drawing of Homer Simpson has appeared on a hill in the English countryside, right next to the famed Cerne Abbas Giant, a well-known British landmark.” The giant, described as “a chalk outline of an aroused, club-wielding man dating to at least the 17th century,” is a great favorite among pagans, revered by them as a fertility symbol. Homer, apparently, is not revered by pagans, though it’s hard to think why not. The drawing of Homer was done in biodegradable paint, “which will eventually wash away”—though not before having generated publicity for The Simpsons Movie. —Posted by Mark Dolliver

How awesome is that! The marketing for this movie just keeps getting better.

Hey, if The Simpsons can't piss off pagans who can they piss off? *I don't know what that means either....

Maybe he's just playing ring toss with the Pagan's weiner.

From what i have read about pagans they believe in goodness and badness being repaid tenfold.

So Homer has the o and the giant has the one.

I'm sure both of these men have goodness in their heart. so it's a win-win, right? exponentially!
