[QUOTE=NY Daily News]Vandals covered Rio de Janeiro's towering Christ the Redeemer statue with spray-painted graffiti, marring the world-famous monument in an act Rio's mayor called a "crime against the nation." The vandals covered the head, arms and chest of the 130-foot statue, which looks out over Rio's dramatic vista of beaches and mountains, using scaffolding that had been erected to carry out maintenance work. "Those criminals will pay for what they've done. They will go to jail," Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes was quoted as saying in Friday's O Globo newspaper. "Rio de Janeiro and Brazil do not deserve this." Access to the statue had been closed after recent rains that caused mudslides around the city. Phrases scrawled onto the statue included "When the cat's away, the rats will play," as well as apparent references to Rio residents who were killed or who disappeared in recent crimes, O Globo reported.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/04/16/2010-04-16_rios_christ_the_redeemer_statue_marred_with_graffiti.html[/url] [img]http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/04/17/alg_christ.jpg[/img] Christ the Redeemer?
Son of a bitch, that was an impressive statue :argh:
I'd love to see the douches who did that pay. There will be blood.
Great, now I need to see shitty graffiti when playing Favela in MW2.
Sounds like someone's trying to be edgy.
Damn vandals
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;21416004]Sounds like someone's trying to be edgy.[/QUOTE] I'm assuming they're organized crime members based on what they wrote. So they probably are edgy.
Should have put a pentagram or something.
What a terrible, terrible thing to happen.
lol owned
What if they actually changed Favela's statue to look like that? That would be cool.
What kind of heartless prick would do such a thing?
It was the Norwegians
Jesus with make-up.

:10bux: There's going to be paid DLC for MW2 that adds the graffiti. [editline]9:36PM[/editline] Better make it :20bux: since the 10 won't buy the DLC.
[QUOTE=E104 Epsilon;21416108]Someone who isn't religious[/QUOTE] So every non-religious is a heartless prick?
How the fuck did they get up there
Religious or not, it is quite an arse thing to vandalise these sort of big ass statues.
christ who would do such a thing?
Knowing Brazil I wouldn't be surprised if the vandals were executed
I don't like the vandalism of art.
damn atheists!!!
I chuckled for a second and then realised that this was a great work of art and that those fuckers should pay for fucking with it. Also I fucking hate people who tag shit. Graffiti is cool(as long as it's the graffiti that's had effort to it and it's not put onto places like this), tagging is fucking stupid and I hate people who do it.
For everyone who can't figure out how they got up there: "The vandals covered the head, arms and chest of the 130-foot statue, which looks out over Rio's dramatic vista of beaches and mountains, using scaffolding that had been erected to carry out maintenance work." It pays to click links.

Doesn't really matter, regardless, they will still believe in a false religion.
