Crucified teddy bear.
On a youth weekend many years ago we had been making the church ready for the Sunday service removing the evidence of the game of poker that had taken place on the communion table etc. We had put someone's teddy bear on the cross with the help of elastic bands. (No nails were available) I wanted to leave it there but it was taken down on the grounds that Jesus has risen.

Similarly...
We once made a gallows on top of a very large public bonfire and hung the guy from it.

We were told it was in bad taste and to take it down so he could be burnt to death instead.

Wasn't Mr. Fawkes
hung, drawn & quartered - after the torture, racking etc?

That's what I thought

Yup, I've seen his 'before and after torture' signatures in the British Museum.
The second is just a shaky scrawl. Chilling.
