The GIANT JESUS

@Shirley Ujest

Is it just me or does the Messiah look like he is sinking in quicksand?

“I don’t wanna die in the Okeefenokee! I don’t wanna die in the Okeefenokee!”

Directly across the Interstate, someone should build an equally-gigantic “Bat Out Of Hell” diorama with Death on a Harley bursting from the ground…

I keep imagining Charlie Sheen looking down on it from a Huey.

“Hey! Where the hell’s my 2330-foot Jesus, dammit?!”

Singing:

I don’t care if it rains or freezes
As long as I’ve got my 2330-foot Jesus
Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car…

@Eve

What?! The damn tourism site said it was 2330 feet tall! Good thing I didn’t go flying down to Rio (“by the sea-oh”), or I’d have been really pissed off to find a teeny-tiny 150-foot Jesus.

“Hey! Where the hell’s my 2330-foot Jesus, dammit?!”

I think Oral Roberts has it.

Well, gee, now that someone has actually made a statue of the Zombie Jesus (a Giant Zombie Jesus, at that), I want to see a Christ on a Crutch statue.

And a giant Christ on a Cracker Statue, and a Jesus Christ in a Chicken Basket Statue, and a Christ on a Pogo Stick Statue and. . . .

I’d like to see a “Creepin’ Christ On A Cross” statue.

What’s the matter with his elbows? He looks like he has some horrible degenerative joint disease.

That’s a side effect of the atomic radiation that caused him go grow so large.

Touchdown!

Think anyone goes out there with a football and tries to kick it through?

@Kalhoun

Did anyone see the statue of the giant Jesus at a church in (Ohio, maybe?)? It stood six stories tall and was just the upper torso, arms and head. Kinda scary. In a King Kong Meets Mothra kind of way. I saw this briefly on MSNBC this morning and haven’t been able to find anything else on it all day. Anyone? Anyone?

We live maybe 45 minutes from this church. It looks more like a casino than a church. Folks around these parts have dubbed it the “Butter Jesus”. It looks just like one of those butter cow statues the state fair puts in the refrigerated section of the dairy exhibition every year.

Let’s hope the crowd behaves if it’s a game winner.

Of course you realize that’s counting the mountain.

“I caught a fish, this big.”

That’s the accepted gesture.

he’s no buddy jesus . . . with the wink . . . and the thumb . . . that dude was kah-ool!

@Sampiro

My own personal giant Jesus is the one in Eureka Springs, Arkansas; from the front it’s blocky, but from the rear it looks exactly like a milk carton.

Oh, but it gets funnier. The FAA came by and said the Jesus needed a blinking red light on his head. Rather than suffer that indignity, they lopped off Jesus’ feet! In the grass near him is a disembodied set of giant sandled feet.

And let us not forget the ever-popular Christ on a Pony statue

Giant Jesus is my neighbor.

It’s in Ohio, on Rt. 75, between Cincinnati and Dayton- I pass it whenever I visit my sister. It belongs to the Solid Rock Church. Words cannot express how enormous and tacky Giant Jesus is. Also, people have a tendency to slow down and/or turn their heads to look at it, causing congestion and accidents.

Here is a picture of Giant Jesus, but please be aware that, in real life, he’s much larger and less attractive.

From that website we the the DUH of the Day

Soon after the statue’s completion, tipster Lori Baker wrote us: “I found it interesting that a poll taken of locals concerning the statue of Jesus in Monroe had the following results: 25% feel that it is a ‘Godsend, good for Monroe,’ while 75% found that it was an ‘Eyesore, bad for Monroe.’”

wait for it…

and…

all together now…
DUH!

[Blackclaw]

I pass the giant Ohio Jesus everyday on my way to work. I have been very tempted to tie a giant red cape onto him and then somehow apply a nondamaging “S” decal to his chest. I think everyone would benefit from Super Jesus.
