Follow-up: The grease stain virgin
May. 6th, 2005 04:39 pmNot long ago, the faithful and idiotic were gathered beneath a highway overpass in Chicago to catch a glimpse of a stain which allegedly looked like the Virgin Mary. Today, engineers painted over the stain, which was recently defaced by an individual who used black shoe polish to write "big lie" over it. I say that this man is a hero to the world of common sense. Of course, we live in a world of delusion, so naturally he's being charged with vandalism. Even dumber is the fact that, according to the Reuters article reporting this incident, "Police did not say what the man's motive might have been in defacing the image." Is that not a big fucking, "DUH?" The guy was probably sick and tired of crackpots grasping onto straws and holding up traffic. This man doesn't deserve litigation, he deserves the key to the city.
