Rod! Todd! This is God!

From NWZCHIK, we get today's batty neighbor story concerning someone in San Mateo who is drawing ire from her neighbors for scribbling messages supposedly from God all over her house. And by house, we mean like the roof and the walls. And her car. Which also has signs on top of it. Not all of the postings are about religion too, some are about politics and the deeds of the government. The house, actually, looks like this shed we had by our High School in which everyone from the Senior Class wrote graffiti on it to celebrate their graduation.

The women in question, Estrella Benavides, says she doesn't actually hear the voice of God telling her to do something, but instead just gets a feeling of what He wants her to say. If we were in her shoes, we'd use that power to "feel" who God is going to have win the Superbowl, but that's just us. She's claiming freedom of speech and all that but the city council is saying it's a nuisance and coming up with all sorts of ordinances to try and put an end to it. She has, however, agreed to no longer broadcast messages out of a loud speaker she installed on her car.

The fun part of the story isn't necessarily her, but the reactions to her by her neighbors. All are unfaingly polite and try to go out of their way to say nice things about her, despite the fact that it's clear she's completely bat-shit crazy. It's almost a Borat-like thing where she presses the envelope on crazy and her neighbors are too worried about being impolite to really do something that they're probably all thinking deep down inside.

KTVU, which is where we got the image from, has a slide show of the craziness.
