The Giant Jesus on Interstate 75 speaks to America

[spandexfantastic]

If you haven't seen the Giant Jesus on Interstate 75 between Dayton and Cincinnati, you're missing one of the great pieces of tacky American art ever made.

Now, there's a video with Giant Jesus singing about his surroundings:

1. why does it ask me to sign in when I click the link?

Do you have a link where I don't have to sign in to view it?

[spandexfantastic]

2. I dunno

I signed out of youtube, and it still works fine for me.

But try the youtube channel it is listed on:

Too many damn details entailed with technology!

[spandexfantastic]

7. Tell me Jesus doesn't live now!

The Shroud of Turin ain't nothin!

13. Who would win a fight

between Big Butter Jesus and Big Hummus Jesus?

[JohnnyLib2]

14. We bought that (Big Butter) to play as we pass!

Really. Have to make regular trips to a nursing home near Dayton and that brightens the trip. LOL

[spandexfantastic]

15. You should play Big Butter Jesus when going north past it

and then play Giant Jesus made of Hummus while traveling South past it.

drexel are Dayton legends, and I think this video and song show why.

[JohnnyLib2]

17. Great idea. And--

I can go to Hustler while my wife goes to the new outlet mall. :hide:

20. In a very warped way

Monroe, Ohio is the most American city in America. Antique Furniture, Porn, Fast Food, Prisons and a giant church with Giant Jesus up front trying not to drown.

25. My son showed me this one a few months ago. I laughed until I cried.

16. one thing I've always wondered about those types

why isn't this idolatry? ( as defined in the Book itself)

[spandexfantastic]

18. It IS

idolatry!

[Capn Sunshine]

19. welcome to DU!

the lounge is the best place to start

[eppur_se_muova]

21. and here I thought that was a statue of Tantalus ...

[spandexfantastic]

24. I always thought the same

It looks like he's drowning. Not very confidence inspiring on the part of Giant Jeebus.

[old mark]

22. Where IS this thing? This is something I would want to see in person...

Wow! It's in OHIO! I could drive there!

Jesus looks just like his pictures, too!

Oh, America...you are such a fucking hoot!

23. Smack dab between Dayton and Cincinnati

On intersection of I-75 and State Route 63, one exit south of the Middletown exit.

Maybe I can get Giant Jesus to give talking directions!

And if you liked the video and the music, please forward it because we're trying to get rich and famous so we can build a music school for impoverished kids in Appalachia.

Here's the link again:

26. live 3 miles from it =( we mostly ignore it here.

Owned by the cult church Solid Rock. Pastor Bishop. same Bishop who got caught smuggling cocaine in horses hooves years back.

[spandexfantastic]

27. So THAT'S where that rumor comes from

I heard he was smuggling coke in via surgical implants of coke inside the animals.

Giant talking Jesus would be much better though.
