Statue of imitation

I think I have seen too many Chucky, Puppet Master, and assorted killer doll movies because my first thought when seeing this picture was not exactly pious.

WEST Hampstead sculptor Oliver Green is using his divine skills for charitable purposes. The enterprising 55-year-old, who lives in Spode Walk, is selling his bronze casts of Pope John Paul II on the internet. He said: "The money that is made goes to three charities: an orphanage, a children's charity in Cambodia and a disabled children's charity in Pattaya in Thailand." The statues cost £499.99.
