Nevermind.
:wtc:
Modern Warfare 2 update released.
Any religion behind this does not matter. This statue was a testament to human engineering and it was a shame that it was vandalized.

Reminds me of the Colossus of Rhodes.
Except that was more impressive.
I bet Dawkins did it.

Didn't the Muslims (Arabs) take it down? Or should I say, "break it down".
I like how they have a little picture of Christs face covering up the actual, vandalized one.

Naw, hes too busy trying to catch the pope.
Should of done an internet meme because that would of been epic.
I really don't see how vandalism proves anything.
[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;21416381]I doubt they were trying to attack the child molesting Catholics but if they were, harming great pieces of art isn't the way to go about doing it.[/QUOTE]
the legal system is bullshit. how can you fight one of the most influential organizations in the world?
regardless of the vandals motives behind the defacing of this "art work", i see it as a good thing. i see it as the people's rising mistrust and disapproval of the church.

I hope he does, the pope is a dick, just for being a pope.

I'm almost sure it was design flaw couple with an earthquake.
[B]Ruining our goddamn landmarks?![/B]
Don't we have enough problems in this hellhole already?
Sickening.

Sometimes I wonder how all this history is documented, dating back to 266BC.
Also, yes, it was an earthquake. I was mistaking it with the remains of the statue which the Muslims took over and later sold.
Hahaha, that's pretty cool.
Kids these days...

What statue are you talking about?
[QUOTE=Pepin;21416214]I don't like the vandalism of art.[/QUOTE]
I DO like the art of vandalism. But this isn't art.

Defacing art isn't the way to do it. This reminds me of when the Taliban blew up Buddha, what the hell did he do to anyone?
You can go fight the power somewhere else.

you think this is art? it is a symbol of the church's power over the world. it's on a mountain for christ's sake overlooking everything.
the church is an organization of systematic child molestations that is covered up and allowed to continue because people are so ignorant and naive
this is nothing more than a symbol for child molestation and ignorance. it isn't art work. it's propaganda

buddhism has done its fair share of atrocities in the world

[QUOTE=scout1;21417198]Hahahaha.[/QUOTE]
yeah, it's really funny. kids being molested by people whom they trust, whom they believe is appointed by god. then these fuckers are defended by the man who runs the organization, who is believed to have been the closest being to god.

Defacing has a bigger meaning than you realize.. It's like Osama Bin Laden taking the American flag and burning it on video then sending it to The White House. It's a direct message, We. Don't. Like. You.
Get my picture?
[QUOTE=john_frohman;21416140]So every non-religious is a heartless prick?[/QUOTE]
He didn't say that.
[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;21416308]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.[/QUOTE]
Also by looking at the image that's right there in the OP it's easy to see it's scaffolding.
