 Giant Naked Goddess To Be Carved Into Hillside Author: The Telegraph Source: The Telegraph (UK) Title: GIANT NAKED GODDESS TO BE CARVED INTO HILLSIDE A 400-yard naked "Green Goddess" is to be carved into the Northumberland landscape, under a new plan revealed by a mining company. Dubbed the "Goddess of the North", Northumberlandia will be made from two million tonnes of earth dug out from an open cast mine in Cramlington, and tower 112ft into the northern sky. The Goddess, designed by artist Charles Jencks, will recline over the Shotton open-cast mine and form the centre piece of a new public park at the site. | |

R. Cicero (Seattle, Washington) - Email Me Forget idol worship, this is about moutains of SLAG, a monument to protracted destruction and rape of the landscape. What goddess do you know that embodies that virtue? Certainly not one I'd like to know. But hey, what a great concept. Why don't we crank it up a notch and turn Auschwitz into luxury condominiums. Or make fire ladders out of human bones over in Iraq! Talk about making lemonade. |

Winddragon (anderson, South Carolina) - Email Me Great to hear that someone has the courage to push through the nay sayers and get it done. Has the xian churches attacked yet? So this goddess will be a high quality leisure facility that takes about twenty minutes? Got tunnels? I'd need Viagara for that walk. |

Faloku (Arcata, California) - Email Me This looks awesome. It's a beautiful design, it's a place to put all the extra dirt, and it'll help archćologists earn their keep 5,000 years from now. (By then they'll probably be done with Newgrange and Avebury and maybe even Cahokia.) |

Dana Corby (Anderson Island, Washington) - Email Me The design is simply beautiful! Though I can understand the people who unleashed Benny Hill on the world not understanding it. |
