Idiot Celebrity "Crucifies" Himself
Not himself, really...it's a statue of himself being crucified. Pete Doherty of the group Babyshambles is having "the 'disturbing artwork'...carved in marble and show[ing] Doherty being tortured, surrounded by strips of newspapers — symbolising his crucifixion by the media."
First of all, who the hell is this guy? The only reason I know anything about him is because he is the on again-off again boyfriend of model Kate Moss (and both have extensively documented drug problems), making him popular tabloid fodder. I've never heard his band's music either, but with a name like Babyshambles, I'm not too sorry about it.
But really, wasting perfectly good marble on a statue of his crucifiction by the press? That speaks more to his own ego than hurt pride.
Frankly, I would be more impressed if he commissioned a statue of himself as Mohammed. Mocking Christianity? That's so 20th century!
On a tip from Kitty.

Look for Christians to begin rioting in the streets and burning their local McDonalds.
Oh wait, scratch that. I forgot, Christians aren't the Religion of Peace, it's the tolerant Muslims who allow freedom of speech and criticism.
