This picture sums up the tragedy of what has been happening to hill-figures this Summer:

It was probably taken the morning after the latest damage was done, August 25th, as the slogan was mowed away very quickly. The paint on the penis has been mostly removed, but has still caused long term damage to the figure.

The Homer Simpson figure is still very visible.

What a bloody, and uneccessary, mess.
