Jesus gets struck by lightening.

[Buschman]

A 62 foot high by 40 foot wide statue of Jesus, made out of styrofoam and wood, was struck by lightening last night and burned to the ground.

The landmark was at a church in Monroe Ohio just of I-75.

Dubbed "Touchdown Jesus" due to the way he was raising his arms, the statue was a landmark often visit by Ohio State Buckeye football fans in order to get a pic in front of.

When fire fighters first arrived, the statue was already ingulfed in flames. There was nothing they could do but concentrate on keeping the fire away from the church.

Seems like the original story is just a cover up:


60 Foot Jesus Statue Seen Crawling Down Interstate I-71
Towards Cincinnati



Cincinnati, OH. – A six story tall statue of Jesus thought to have been destroyed by lightning in the small town of Monroe last night was seen instead this morning crawling south on Interstate Seventy-One.

The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown.

Ohio State Trooper Sergeant Ida Kickem described the scene as absolute bedlam. “He, the Jesus statue, or whatever it is, is crawling along on its arms, pulling itself down the interstate,” according to the Sergeant whose radio signals were picked by police scanners in news rooms across western Ohio. “If we’re gonna stop this guy I’m gonna need backup and a bigger pair of cuffs.”

By mid mourning several news helicopters could be seen hovering as the Jesus statue crawled slowly into downtown Cincinnati, breaking off large chunks of fiberglass as he did causing dozens of the various Ohio municipalities police cars, all with blue lights flashing, to swerve like drunk drivers.

Fox TV Station WRNG’s crack news reporter Sarah Playin narrated the scene as she broadcast live from one helicopter, “I can see the Jesus statue from here, and it’s beyond all words, even for me.”

Clearing her throat Playin continued, “I’ve never seen anything like before this in my life. The Jesus statue has traffic stopped in both directions and now people are waving at him from the overpasses, trying to get his attention or maybe to give him encouragement. And it’s a hot day out there too. It must be ninety-five degrees or more and the people in the cars and the Jesus statue himself must be getting thirsty by now…for God’s sake won’t somebody please give the Jesus statue a drink of water!”

“Wait a minute now,” Playin interrupted, “A man has just jumped out of a car that was stuck in traffic headed north and now he’s running across the median towards the Jesus statue. He’s got something in his hand. Is it water? No, no, I don’t thing so. Get a close-up of that guy. It looks now like he’s got a cell phone and he’s talking into it and waving at our camera. Oh hell, it’s someone who just wanted to get on TV.”

At that very moment the man with the cell phone, the man Playin thought just wanted to get on national TV, could be heard live across the nation on all the competing news channels. “I’ve got the Jesus statue with me,” he said as he ran along beside the Jesus statue. “He says to quit following him around for crying out loud. He’s says he’s just leaving Ohio for greener pastures. And he also says to quite watching so much TV and to get a real life.”

And just like that, in a strange coincidence everyone would be talking about on TV for years to come, all the TV’s in the nation suddenly turned off all at once. As for the Jesus statue, we can only assume he's continuing on towards greener pastures, what's left of him.
