The fact that it got struck by lightning and burned is all the more funnier.
They should have faced it toward the flea market.
But really it has to be karma. All those metal roofs on those buildings just next door and poor Jesus gets lit on fire. And the hell they build something out of that for?

It's not the metal, it's the water. If I remember correctly something about the electrostatic current or something like that is where lightning hits, and it's greater in bodies of water.

yet, somehow all those very tall electrically-conducting metal radio and cellular towers are standing just fine without any drama....
hmmmm....coincidence?.....

Famous Jesus statue on I-75 nothing but a shell after being struck by lightning and burning.
Article
“I can’t believe Jesus was struck,” said his brother, who noted the giant Hustler Hollywood sign for the adult store across the street was untouched. “It’s the last thing I expected to happen.”

The irony of BBJ getting whacked while the giant HUSTLER sign right across the street still stands is not lost on me.
