Flying Spaghetti Monster Statue Made

A statue of the flying spaghetti monster has been found outside of a courthouse, as of April 1st, 2008. But don't be fooled! This is legitimate. The flying spaghetti monster, if you don't already know, is an alternative god for alternative people. He's kinda like the Christian's god, but less pretentious and also made out of spaghetti. The person who made the statue made it because he wanted to celebrate free speech. Truly there is no better celebration of free speech than a giant flying spaghetti monster statue.

On one hand, this courthouse might not like this... addition. On the other hand, they already have other statues around that also use free speech. The real issue is whether or not fundamental Christians will blow their lid at this. A little more background; the flying spaghetti monster was created to allegedly mock Christianity. So, it's not entirely unlikely that Christians may be offended. But hey, at least it's a celebration of free speech.

Personally, I've been a fan of pastafarianism and the flying spaghetti monster. So I cannot help but believe this is the right thing to do. Additionally, if people can make memorials and statues of other religious figures, then why not FSM? But then I also would like it if Christians did not blow their lid over this. Hopefully everyone can take it for what it is; a statue of a giant flying spaghetti monster.
