The Christ of the Abyss, a statue that was sunk 75-feet at Gilio, 80 miles from Rome by Pope John Paul II has been disfigured by Satanists? Apparently. Italian Police are investigating a Satanist cult of evil scuba divers that supposedly hacked off Christ's arms.

A police spokesman on Giglio said:

Because of the depth it is very unlikely that the statue was damaged by a propeller or net. It looks like a very deliberate attack and because it is 25 metres underwater someone was very well equipped to go down there and take off the arms. It's possible it could be an attack by Satanists who knew the statue was there and who also knew that it was a very revered symbol for the locals so it is a line of investigation.

Seeing that this story came from The Daily Mail in the UK, we are surprised they didn't claim that a rogue Great White Shark bit off Christ's arms.

Why did we run this crap story? Because every day is Earth Day, that's why. To real envirofreaks, Earth Day is amateur hour at best and at worst it is an opportunity for the corpos to throw out their latest gurgle of greenwash. Throw that on your compost pile, Hippies.
