Defaced Jesus painting brings in loads of cash for Spanish town! (pic)

An utterly failed attempt in 2012 at restoring a 1930s Jesus wall painting in Borja, Spain, which resulted in the defacement of the piece of art has caused a spike in the tourism industry of the small town! The effaced painting, depicting Jesus named ‘Ecce Homo-Behold the Man’, has become a tourist ‘attraction’, as many travellers visit the town in the north west of the country to see the disaster! According to a New York Post article, people are clamouring in the town of Borja, with over 160,000 tourist visiting the Church of Mercy just to get a glimpse of the ‘destroyed man’. Tourists are spending loads of money on all types of souvenirs depicting the painting! They pay 1 Euros for entry into the Church to see the painting. While the Spanish economy is in depression, the town of Borja has experienced a huge boost in its local economy with bars, restaurants and shops filling with people!
