DON'T MESS WIH THE PAGANS!

First that British TV show gave Long Man a sex change by adding pigtails and boobs. Now a doughnut-wielding Homer Simpson is drawn next to another ancient pagan icon?

The Cerne Abbas Giant is used to having things his own way. Not only does he wield two mighty clubs - one military, one anatomical - but he stands 55m tall, and has been considered a fertility symbol for four centuries. Indeed, so potent is the Giant's chalky mojo, that couples struggling to conceive are still said to visit his hillside home for a grassy liaison.
But yesterday there was a new alpha male in North Dorset. He wields a doughnut instead of a club and his unmentionables are, mercifully, covered by the world's largest pair of Y-Fronts. His name is Homer Simpson.The work required 200 litres of biodegradable white paint and was the brainchild of the publicity team behind The Simpsons Movie, which premieres in Britain next week.

But not everyone is happy. Pagans, who believe the Giant is a spiritual icon, are dismayed by this bold new artwork, and, in particular, the accompanying encouragement for young couples to "do it in the doughnut". "It's very disrespectful and not at all aesthetically pleasing" said Ann Bryn-Evans, joint Wessex district manager for The Pagan Federation.
