A giant outline of Homer Simpson brandishing a doughnut was enough to make even pagans go "D'oh".

Hysterically funny. Both the Homer pic and the pagans threat to make it go away with “rain magic” (next time it rains, they can say “See, we won’t let anybody get away with insulting our horny idol”).

I never thought of Homer as a particularly dignified, but at least Homer is wearing underpants, unlike that pagan dude.
To: uglybiker
bookmark until I can get a new color ink cartridge. That’s funny. I don’t care who you are!

At least the pagans aren’t running amok, whackin’ the heads off infidels.

Pagans appear to be about as humorless as your average atheist convention.

I blame the pagans for climate change problems. All the time messing with their “rain magic”.
