Some in Vancouver Prefer Satan to Christopher Columbus

The removal of a guerrilla-art depiction of the devil has led thousands of Vancouver residents to pledge allegiance to evil.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. The second-best trick has to be convincing Vancouver that he should.

Tuesday, commuters riding Vancouver's Millennium Line near the VCC-Clark Station were greeted by a nine-foot statue of Satan. The statue depicted the Adversary throwing up some horns with one hand, and holding a piqued erection with the other. Needless to say, it did not stand long: The Vancouver Sun reports that the City of Vancouver removed it hours after it emerged on Tuesday.
