Christ the King - Worlds Tallest Jesus Statue built in Poland

Giant Jesus statue finished in Poland

SWIEBODZIN, Poland -- A gigantic statue of Jesus that Poles claim is the world's largest rose majestically above a small town on Saturday, as the grandiose dream of a local priest finally came to pass.

Poland is like 90% catholic... they probably don't see it as taxes... more like a tithe.

And that crown looks awfully cheesy... like he got it when His Almighty Father took him to Burger King for a happy meal.

Holy crap, we need to close the Jesus gap.

We're gonna need a bigger Jesus.

What the hell is that? Looks like he just scored a touch down. Its almost as retarded looking as the Jesus in Eureka Springs, AR. We call him the great apathetic milk carton of the Ozarks.
