A 180 foot image of Homer Simpson has been painted into the hillside, next to the famous fertility symbol – the Cerne Abbas giant – 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.
The Cerne Abbas Giant or the ‘Rude Man’ is the largest hillfigure in Britain, he (the figure’s gender is beyond doubt) is one of two representations of the human form, the other being the Long Man of Wilmington in East Sussex. The giant, carved in solid lines from the chalk bedrock measures in at 180 feet high, and carries a huge knobbled club, which measures 120 feet in length.
