PAGANS have pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash away cartoon character Homer Simpson who was painted next to their famous fertility symbol - the Cerne Abbas giant.The 17th century chalk outline of the naked, sexually aroused, club-wielding giant is believed by many to be a symbol of ancient spirituality.
Many couples also believe the 180ft giant, which is carved in the hillside above Cerne Abbas, Dorset, is an aid to fertility.
A giant 180ft Homer Simpson brandishing a doughnut was painted next to the well-endowed figure today in a publicity stunt to promote The Simpsons Movie released later this month.
The lads at b3ta have their own take on it. Warning: Possibly NSFW.
Another tie-in to the Simpsons movie: This game, where Homer (you, using the arrow keys) attempts to free his family by smashing a police car with a wrecking ball. In theory, anyway -- the only thing I succeeded in smashing was Homer himself. Sound effects.
