In the 1990′s I was involved in local radio and presented a Sunday morning programme that was faith based music and muttering. There was a statue of Jesus in the area that had fallen into neglect as the convent that commissioned it had closed. Some one painted it peach in order to tidy it up. I spoke about this for a couple of minutes and concluded with the words “The future is bright because Jesus is orange” – picking up on a mobile phone advert of the time. The station switchboard lit up brighter than a 52′ foot statue of Jesus would!!!!
I’m sure they’d've got a bigger one if they could.
Just wait for the church down the road to get a bigger one…
