What may be the most comical aspect of this
is the provenance of the granite display
which was the issue in the controversy.

A promotional stunt by Hollywood Producer Cecil B. DeMille
as an effort to drum up interest for the 1956 movie,
The 10 Commandments, starring Charleton Heston.

"Dman You All to Hell"

Oh wait, that was a Heston line from a different fantasy movie.
