Do'h! Homer Simpson painting offends pagans

Do'h! After offending just about every other group on earth, Homer Simpson has now upset the pagans.

They are gunning for the bumbling cartoon character after he was painted next to their famous fertility symbol, the Cerne Abbas giant.

They pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash him away.

The Cerne Abbas giant is a 17th century chalk outline of a naked, sexually aroused, club-wielding giant carved in the hillside above Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England.

Many couples believe the 180ft giant is an aid to fertility.

But a giant 180ft Homer Simpson brandishing a donut was painted next to the Cerne Abbas figure as a publicity stunt for a film company.

The pagans are not impressed by the stunt to promote the worldwide July 27 release of The Simpsons Movie.

"It's very disrespectful and not at all aesthetically pleasing," said Anne Bryn-Evans, joint Wessex district manager for The Pagan Federation. "We were hoping for some dry weather but we'll be doing some rain magic to bring the rain and wash it away."

She was amazed that permission for something so ridiculous was granted, and pointed out that this was an area of scientific interest.

She promised they would be doing some rain magic to bring the rain and wash Homer away from the Dorset hills.

The Simpsons figure has been painted with biodegradable water-based paint that will wash away with rain.

Petra made headlines all around the world in 2006 when she grew so fond of the plastic boat she could not bear to be parted from it.

The romance between the odd couple blossomed after German zoo officials in the town of Muenster released Petra on a local lake next to the boat.

She became so besotted with her pedal boat love that she refused to leave its side, even refusing to mingle with the other swans.
