Car Worship

The Motor Industry held a service for 1,000 people in Coventry Cathedral, to celebrate one hundred years of the Motor Car. In the spirit of Lady Godiva, a woman took off her coat in front of the congregation revealing her naked body painted with slogans mourning the death of 17 million people killed directly by the Motor Car. This brought the service to a standstill for 4 minutes while she preached to the Car Worshippers!
