‘Big Butter Jesus’ hot Internet search trend

By Amelia Robinson | Thursday, March 11, 2010, 12:57 PM

Big Butter Jesus - we didn’t make the nickname up - dominated Google Trend much of today and even earned an article on Huffington Post and other sites.

Solid Rock Church’s Jesus statue off I-75 in Monroe, officially named “King of Kings” and constructed in 2004, has its detractors, admirers and a handful of nicknames - Touchdown Jesus, Quicksand Jesus, I Can’t Believe its not Butter Jesus, etc.

For better or worse, Huffington posted called the 16,000 pound steel, wood and styrofoam sculpture “Big Butter Jesus in all its artery clogging glory.”
