Does the following story strike anyone else as a case of hilariously unintended irony? Or am I forcing an "unnatural" analogy in my wicked mind?

Garden_gnome_2 The gnomes, along with plastic flowers and other decorations such as teddy bears, have been called "inappropriate" and tacky by the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

The church banned the garden figures from Wrington and Congresbury cemeteries in Somerset, and have said they will remove any that they find as part of new guidelines issued by the Chancellor of the Diocese, Worshipful Timothy Briden.

A spokesman for the Diocese of Bath and Wells said: "There is no such thing as a real gnome so why should we have such unnatural creatures in churchyards?" (emphasis mine)

    Dodder, Sneezewort and Baldmoney will be holding a gnome-lead protest outside this church. How dare they infringe upon the civil rights of ‘unnatural’ beings. Who will be next? The fairies and elves? Oh, the horror!
