Coincidence? no, just idiot companies who can't stretch their brain cells to come up with something more original... pathetic really.

Well it does reinforce the view that doing it at one site sees it happen again at that and other sites!

i like it

and it will be gone - 'like tears in rain' - soon although that'll be down to typical English summer weather - not the pagans I suspect

homer's a giant of our culture after all...

Pagans have pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash away a cartoon character painted next to their famous fertility symbol - the Cerne Abbas giant.


I think they've overdone it.

Reading this again and Slumpy's comment, I need to ask if it was necessary to advertise the movie at all let alone by doing this ?

My understanding of the audience for the Simpsons is that this movie is so incredibly popular, more perhaps than even all hill figures put together, is this addition taunting (more serious and therefore less popular) historic culture ?
