Plans to erect 250-ft. crucifix Increase the size of your Attachments

Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza ([COMICBOOKGUY] Worst pizza ever! [/COMICBOOKGUY]), has plans to erect a 250 foot tall crucifix--one mile from my home. I am utterly speechless at his hubris. By way of comparasion, 250 feet is about the height of the Statue of Liberty, not counting the raised torch. Needless to say, this would be the world's largest crucifix. In Ann Arbor. Of all the places on Earth--Ann Arbor. There goes the neighborhood.

The unexplored wilds of Canada, I'd guess. Who knows what lurks there?

Actually, the current plans call for Jesus to be 40 feet tall, in case you were wondering.

Thousands of Ann Arbor children will have lifelong nightmares if this comes to pass.

You wouldn't mind? There would be outrage over here, people have a right to choose their religion - how would you feel if they were erecting a giant statue of Buddha?

And how attractive could a statue of a corpse hanging from a bit of wood be?

Besides, Rio already did it

this gives me an idea.

now all I'll need is the money.

I want to erect a 300 ft tall statue of satan. or lucifer if you prefer that.

my reason?

to piss christians off. While technically I may be a christian, I still love to piss christians off. It is so easy and fun.

Will the people of apolyton donate money to me so I can build this statue in my back yard?

A friend of mine suggested we raise money to build a 300 foot tall Darwin Fish to face the crucifix. My finacee is threating to throw herself off the top of the crucifix.

This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. The thing wouldn't last one week before being vandalized--and with good reason.

Monaghan started up a "Catholic law school" in Ann Arbor a few years ago, called Ave Maria. A law school with a "Catholic perspective", whatever that means. Last I heard, it still hasn't been accredited. But does anyone remember Robert Bork? Supreme Court nominee from the 80s, wasn't confirmed because he was to the political right of Scrooge? He's teaching at Ave Maria.

Your circle aquaintences sounds a bit insecure in thier beliefs systems if a mere statue can inspire such insipid passive-aggressive desires.

I think that there are already giant crosses in Rio de Janerio and in Barcelona. I don't know their dimensions though.
