Friday Q&A

Questionable Electrocution

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. In this regularly occurring feature, I take a look at issues facing Fark's Photoshop community. Admittedly, the issues are oftentimes only tangentially related. This week will prove to be no exception, thanks to an errant lightning bolt from the FSM.

Q: What happened to Touchdown Jesus?

A: I'm afraid he's with the 60 foot-tall angels now. The King of Kings, a gigantic statue of Christ located aside I-75 in Ohio, was destroyed by lightning earlier this week. It had been constructed in 2004, and was featured in this Fark contest from 2005.


Q: What kind of God would burn down his own statue?

A: The same God who created electricity and its various properties. "Touchdown Jesus," as the statue was so affectionately known, consisted of a steel frame wrapped in flammable material. Apparently, the word of the Lord doesn't mention anything about electrical conductivity.

Q: Has this event disproved God's existence?

A: Quite to the contrary! Taking out such an eyesore proves that the FSM is not only real, he also has a pretty good sense of aesthetics. I'm sure the burned-out husk is far more appealing to Interstate travelers. And, as previously mentioned, the entire construction was a six story high lightning rod located in a giant pool of water. It's a miracle no one was killed during the frequent baptisms that took place there.

That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. I'd like to close this post by apologizing to the FSM, for ever doubting His awesome power. If I'd known He had such a great sense of humor, I'd have been going to church a long time ago. An act of God against an affront to God has to be the highest form of irony.

Stay tuned for more ungodly affronts from the Doctor!
