The English village of Dunchurch recently awoke one morning to find one of their historic statues transformed into Homer Simpson. The cartoon caper is the latest in a 40-year tradition of Christmas vandalism that’s seen the the 19th century figure of Lord John Scott turned into Harry Potter, Shrek and Spiderman.

Town residents have apparently had little luck catching the culprits, and it that’s not likely to change, even with their dubious claims that “they’d mostly like to find those responsible to congratulate them on the level of detail they achieved.” |Metro|
