Yeah, I know the nickname is TJ, but someone in comments somewhere said it's a local joke, and they called it Butter Jesus. Looks like a butter sculpture.
Ha! Good ones. I always thought the thing was hideous and scary, but I guess when your reality is nothing but symbols, big honkin' symbols like that get the right people hot. Nothing like physical validation of a fantasy world to make an xtianists day.

Ha! I was just reading about that and watching the video of the fire. Funny! Apparently, the people around there call it butter Jesus.
Funniest comment so far:
"Was there a radio announcer watching the fire who cried out “Oh, the divinity!”?
LOL! That's classic.
I believe the locals also referred to it as "Touchdown Jesus".
Figures they built it out of plastic and styrofoam. Could call it "Environmental Disaster Jesus".
What's the pic? It's too small.

It's an etching from a Lewis Carroll story called The Hunting of the Snark. I think it gets a bit larger if you click on the profile listing.
Not too much bigger, but now I know what it is. Love it.
Funny video on Eschaton today. "Big Butter Jesus".
Best lines;
"Can't believe it's not Jesus."
"Oleo Lord."
