Yeah, that'll bring in The Yoot, fer sherrr...

New statue for Den Bosch cathedral:

Sculptor Ton Mooy...is a working on a statue of an angel with a cell phone.

The angel is to replace a worn out statue in the cathedral of Den Bosch.

The cell phone will have just one button: for a straight line with God.
Geddit?

...

But it could have been worse...
According to Mooy, he also wanted to give the angel jet engines, and a skirt instead of pants, but those ideas went too far for the church’s art committee...
Oh yes. It's always possible to make it worse...

One small thing about this confuses me. How does a statue in a church get 'worn out'?

What were they doing with it?

Actually, never mind. I don't want to know.

    In case you do want to know after all: I suppose the statue is on the outside. The cathedral of s'Hertogenbosch is actually a very bautiful late medieval building - the master piece of the Brabant Gothic - which miraculously was given back to the Catholics by Napoleon after over 200 years of use by Protestants.
