Homer Simpson crop circles….doh

Posted on 20. Jul, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising

We’ve seen Kwik-e-mart transformations and the hi-jacking of JetBlue airlines to promote the new Simpson movie in the US.

In the UK, it’s all down to this giant Homer crop circle in Dorset.

Local Pagans are hopping mad…and are threatening to conjure up a Harry Potter rain spell to wash the offending Homer + doughnut away from their precious, easily excitable Cerne Abbas giant.

No sense of humour or marketing adventure those pagans have.

It would have been better sans underwear. Doh! But then it wouldn’t be Homer. Doh!

hahaha, what a bunch of legends. Totally hats off to the guys who did this. Homer is an icon, man. The Pagans should just accept that. Hehehe…
Actually, I was surprised to hear they were upset about it… they are supposed to be more ‘tolerant’ to others but it seems that they’re just like everyone else, actually.
I wonder what is going on now in the “earth realm” with Homer there… hopefully, the trees or something are going to produce donuts, or the birds have changed their usual chirping to “Doh!” instead. Can’t wait to see the Simpsons movie, it’s going to be excellent. I think the Simpsons has to be the longest running sitcom on TV, and I’m amazed at how original it constantly remains.

I get that Pagans should and could have a bigger sense of humor about this.. but where’s the painting of Homer desecrating a Christian shrine with a donut? Say, for instance, paint a graffiti Homer serving Jebus a donut at the Last Supper?
That would sure make me laugh..

A giant underpants-wearing, doughnut-waving Homer Simpson has been painted on the hill next to the famous 180ft carving of the Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset.
The painting, a promotional stunt for the upcoming Simpsons movie has upset some, and amused others.Pagans have condemned the stunt as disrespectful, and plan to perform “rain magic” to wash away the water-based biodegradable character.The landlord of the local pub the New Inn said it was different, but had not heard any complaints so far – he also added that he wasn’t sure if many of the locals would actually know who Homer was anyway!
