Homer Erectus


Which one is the fertility symbol?
Stunts to publicise the forthcoming Simpsons filmhave begun in earnest. A 180ft image of Homer Simpson waving a doughnut aloft as appeared adjacent to the ancient Cerne Abbas giant, the 17th Century chalk fertility symbol in Dorset. Though Homer is drawn in biodegradeable paint, local pagans aren't amused, saying that the proximity of Homer is disrespectful. Ann Bryn-Evans, joint Wessex district manager for the Pagan Federation adds that they'll be doing some "rain magic" to wash it away (which surely shouldn't be necessary given the current weather).
