Christ the Redeemer vs. Christ the Knock Off Brand

Not far away we had what everyone called "Big Butter Jesus" or "Touchdown Jesus":
The "Big Butter" part comes from the region's fascination with making butter sculptures:
The "Touchdown" name, for those that don't know USA Football (Grid Iron), this is the same gesture the referee makes to signal a valid goal:
However, after being around for years, Touchdown Jesus is no more. I'm not making this up, it was struck by lightning and being made of fiberglass, burned to the ground.
I cannot articulate how perfect this synopsis is.
This was the context I never knew I needed, thank you.
If the ending of my story was too abrupt, and you wanted to spend just a bit more time with Touchdown Jesus, here's the video a passerby caught of Touchdown Jesus burning. You can see the fire fighting vehicle on the left hand side, and the occasional flashes of lighting as the storm that started the fire rages on.
That is absolutely glorious.
Thought he was butter because he looks half melted
To make it worse, it stands looking upon a cheap supermarket and the sheet metal crown used to hide a cellphone tower. They removed it after they realized, that Jesus' head is being used to transmit porn.
Jesus’ head is being used to transmit porn
I'll take 'sentences I never thought I'd read today'. please.
