OVERKILL [oh-ver-kil] a Pictorial Definition
Dictionary.com defines overkill as "an excess of what is required or suitable, as because of zeal or misjudgment." We prefer a more visual definition, though.
To that end, overkill is...
1. Threatening to kill anyone who hits a dog YOU let run into the street.

2. Having eight doorbells when it appears no one's visiting anyway.

3. Using a paint brush when a pencil would do.
(Photo by Destinelee).
4. Going beyond what even a lawyer would recommend.
(Photo by Brutal).
5. Using as Christmas decorations Mr. Potato Head, the M&M characters and Bart Simpson.
(Photo by Supercapacity).
6. Tricking out your...Oldsmobile?
(Photo by *Txdaisy*).
7. Buying a vehicle that costs more to drive than build.
(Photo by Somerslea).
8. Building a 62 feet high Jesus Christ sculpture anywhere, let alone in Monroe, Ohio.
(Photo by Greg Smith).
9. Adorning your car with more Hello Kitty bric-a-brac than a cheap trinket store in Shibuya, Japan.
(Photo by Vee8).
10. Erecting a sign more obnoxious than the loud mouths precipitating its construction.
(Photo by Vidalia).

I think the dog walks around the neighborhood like the little children do, oblivious to cars in a private area. So i like that speeding one. I find it appropriate.
Whats wrong with Jesus?

Haha the picture of Jesus is just a little bit south of here, we call it Field Goal Jesus

yeah the one with doorbells... just FYI, in some cases multiple apartments all use the same door, so, not necessarily overkill.

LOL! Another great post! Thanks...
I think the Mr. Potato Head, M&M characters and Bart Simpson are really just "filler" -- to make sure you can't see the house, right?

I've driven past the Jesus before, but it was at night, all lit up. It was also slightly foggy on the lake that it's in. Cthuluhu Christ, FTW!

I'm pretty sure that Jesus statue isn't a Jesus statue. I think it's supposed to be Peter.

Jim, everything is art. Even your farts.

The world is going to hell.

What if you hit the dog but you're NOT speeding? How would they know?
Posted by: Brian | December 14, 2007 at 05:23 PM
Hey! The "Speeders who hit my dogs..." sign is my photo. Cool!

@ What's wrong with Jesus?
Nothing. It's his fundie followers that scare the bejesus outta me.
Posted by: Edward | December 14, 2007 at 11:26 PM
The photo of the Jesus statue, is in fact Jesus...not Peter. And it is known by locals as Touchdown Jesus...the thing is very unexciting ...

Nothing wrong with Jesus, except he is the brainchild of lesser people.
Posted by: Jesus | December 17, 2007 at 10:28 PM
For anyone who wrote 'what's wrong with Jesus?', I'm from like 20 minutes away from there. It's a major eye sore. Seriously, there are much better things to do with that money.
Thank god there is a Hustler right down the road from it.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with at least half of those. That author just wanted to seem witty and caustic from the safety of his computer chair, while he happened to have a stick firmly entrenched in his rectum.

Shouldn't Jesus be walking on the water?
Blasphemy I say, blasphemy.
Posted by: Bunn | December 30, 2007 at 11:40 AM
The Jesus is actually 42 feet tall. It's not really important, but I thought I'd point it out. It's also called Touchdown Jesus and Big Butter Jesus, because it looks like it's made from butter.

As someone who had a child who rarely slept I can commiserate with the last one. Nothing worse than FINALLY getting your baby to sleep only to have some asshat shouting outside.

The 4th one looked like they had a major law suit over a slippery floor. http://www.spymac.com/details/?2331805

#5 is around the corner from me. It just off Queen St. East in Toronto and it is unreal. They have video cams to keep watch on them all.

Diggers, I can't ebelive you have to live near that. So Sorry.
