Nude Justice Statue Scores a Touchdown

Well, well, well...It appears that John Ashcroft's de-nuding of the front hall of the Justice Department Building has been undone. The once-draped figures of the Spirit of Justice and the Majesty of Justice have been, at long last, re-nuded to their former glory.

Seeing the now infamous photo of John Ascroft with the bare-breasted Spirit of Justice in the background reminded me of the (fully-clothed) mosaic of Jesus that hovers above and behind one end of the University of Notre Dame football stadium.

Both figures have their arms raised as if signalling a touchdown.

So, now we have both a "Touchdown Jesus" and a "Touchdown .....ah.... ...Justice? Spirit? .....ah ........." Can someone come up with a better name for the Justice statue? The winning suggestion will be awarded six points for the.....well.....you know....!

While on the subject of Jesus and sports, here is a nifty site where you can puchase these four little beauties:

Jesus Plays Football

Jesus Plays Basketball

Jesus Plays Baseball

Jesus Plays Soccer

And, last but not least, there is this Jesus in Cincinnati...either signalling another touchdown or suddenly forgetting how to walk on water!

You can read more about this Jesus here, here and here.

Hat Tip to Michael Homan for discovering those Jesus sports statues. He also has some funny things to say about them. Check him out!
