Homer & His Naked Playmate

|
I was surfing the net and I bumped into an interesting report. Salute to the marketing people of Fox studios to "chalk up" another superb marketing move to create some publicity for the upcoming 'The Simpsons Movie'. You may or may not know that resting on the hillsides of Dorset, England lies a historic and authentic 3-century-old chalk figure of a naked (and sexually aroused) man called the 'Cerne Abbas' giant. This site has been preserved and is high-regarded by religious Pagan people. So what did the folks at Fox Studio's do to this ancient drawing as a publicity stunt? Check out the pic below:




Yup, they drawn Homer Simpson in his underwear brandishing a donut as if to tempt the aroused giant to...(use your imagination here!!). This Homer Simpson figure has angered many strict Pagan believers in England, and it seems like they have made an official complaint to the movie studio. But Fox Studios has ensured the troubled Pagan people that Homer will not stay and play with the Giant for long because he is painted in bio-degradable chalk and he will immediate vanish when it rains. So the Pagans went straight into all out war against Homer and performed strong rain magic day and night to wash away the disgusting Homer. Frankly, I would just wash away Homer's underwear and paint a penis on it. Then we would have a real "sword fight", wouldn't we? Wakakaka....But seriously, what would you do?

Anyway, according to Wikipedia:

"The Cerne Abbas giant is a hill figure of a giant naked man on a hillside near the village of Cerne Abbas to the north of Dorchester in Dorset, England. The 55 metre (180 foot) high, 51 metre (167 foot) wide figure is carved into the side of a steep hill and is best viewed from the opposite side of the valley or from the air. The carving is formed by a trench 30cm (1 foot) wide and about the same depth which has been cut through the grass and earth into the underlying chalk. In his right hand the giant holds a knobbed club 36.5 metres (120 feet) long."



Seriously folks, is this a cool idea or what?? Hahah...
