As a publicity stunt for the opening of The Simpsons Movie on 16 July 2007, a figure of Homer Simpson clad in y-front underpants and brandishing a doughnut was outlined in water-based biodegradable paint to the left of the Cerne Abbas Giant. This act displeased local neopagans, who pledged to perform rain magic to wash the figure away. [102] [103] The earliest known written reference is a 4 November 1694 entry in the Churchwardens' Accounts from St Mary's Church in Cerne Abbas, which reads "for repairing ye Giant, three shillings". [34] [35] In 1734, the Bishop of Bristol noted and inquired about the giant during a Canonical visitation to Cerne Abbas, while in 1738 the antiquarian Francis Wise mentioned the giant in a letter. [36] The bishop's account, as well as subsequent observations such as those of William Stukeley, were discussed at meetings of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1764.

Whatever its origin, the giant has become an important part of the culture and folklore of Dorset. Some folk stories indicate that the image is an outline of the corpse of a real giant. [58] One story says the giant came from Denmark leading an invasion of the coast, and was beheaded by the people of Cerne Abbas while he slept on the hillside. [96] It is implied that Willy catches fish for a living. However, the only time the player sees Willy catch a fish is at the Festival of Ice. Shown below are Willy's schedules prioritized highest to lowest. For example, if it is raining, that schedule overrides all others. Morris, Steven (16 September 2008).

The exclusively male team assembled for next autumn’s critical UN Cop26 summit confirms that, beyond assistant, sex provider or profiteer, Johnson’s inept phallocracy still recoils from female recruitment, even when this degree of overt aversion suggests something darker than traditional Westminster misogyny or the lingering impact of male boarding schools. Is there really no woman politician as meritorious as the UK’s lead host, Alok Sharma (the minister conventionally prefixed “hapless”)? The same goes for Lord Callanan (a Brexit nonentity), the publicly rejected Zac Goldsmith and that useful Etonian, Kwasi Kwarteng, along with Mark Carney, a Mr Nigel Topping and an all-male collection of negotiators and civil servants. Does climate crisis only affect one sex – or are we blessed in the UK, as the other men admiring these men imply, with not one but an entire brotherhood of heroic Dillermands?

So maybe, if they absolutely had to animate an adult’s private parts for junior entertainment, the children’s broadcaster should have done that? It would certainl y have made it easier, given the historic shortage of cruel vaginocracies and vaginocrats and of relentless real-life assaults by contemporary vaginas, for the producers to defend themselves from parallel criticism.
