Did we learn nothing from the botched fresco fiasco of 2012016 Archives Obviously not, as it's happened all over again — this time in Canada.
A well-meaning local artist in Sudbury, Ontario has provided a terracotta head for a decapitated Jesus statue and the result is ... interesting.

Every time it's been vandalized before, the head has been found nearby. Not this time. A replacement was estimated to cost between $6,000 and $10,000, too.
Enter Heather Wise. She had her feelings hurt by the sight of the headless baby, she told local reporters so she knocked on priest Gérard Lajeunesse's door and offered her services.
"She was quite upset about it and she offered to do something if she could," he said. Lo and behold, a clay head for Jesus that's been compared to Maggie Simpson.
"The difficulty is the artist had to lift the chin so that the head would stay on because it would keep falling off," Lajeunesse added.
"I don't expect it to last long."
